Beaumont Road Estate, E10

The Beaumont Road Estate became the final high rise estate (with 20-plus-storey towers) in Leyton.

The estate was built in two stages. Stage 1 consisted of one 20-storey tower called All Saints’ Tower, while an extension to Stage 1 (approved in 1965) consisted of another 20-storey tower called St Paul’s Tower. Stage 2, approved in 1966, consisted of one 20-storey tower called St Catherine’s Tower.

In addition, 23 low rise blocks were also approved in 1966.

The original estate comprised:

  • All Saints Tower
  • St Catherine’s Tower
  • St Paul’s Tower
  • St Thomas Court
  • St Elizabeth Court
  • St Edward’s Court
  • St Josephs Court
  • St Mathews Court
  • St Mark’s Court
  • St Lukes Court
  • Flack Court
  • Emanuel Court
  • Ayerst Court
  • Muriel Court
  • Russel Court
  • Osbourne Court
  • Howell Court
  • Kings Close
  • Dare Court
  • Staton Court
  • Shelly Court
  • Emmanuel Court
  • Atkinson Court
  • Shop Court

 

Demolition of some of the original Beaumont road housing, including the two towers, began during early 2006 – redeveloped as part of a regeneration programme.

Planned to replace the 40-year-old estate were a series of “squares and neighbourhoods around a central, tree-lined avenue on Beaumont Road, reinstating the road’s pre-war route.”.
