The Fieldend Housing Estate has been recognised by Historic England today.

The estate on the boundary between Teddington and Twickenham has been recognised for its design and historical significance.

Twickenham and Teddington MP Munira Wilson expressed her delight at the news on Twitter.

So why has it been recognised?

The estate was built between 1959 and 1960 by Michael Brown and Eric Lyons and Partners.

It is listed at Grade II for three reasons according to Historic England.

The said: "Firstly as one of the most distinctive of a series of infill schemes which typified the work of Span Developments, important for the shared vision of architect and speculative developer at a time when good design was otherwise almost wholly in the hands of the public sector.

"Secondly as it strongly encapsulates the holistic approach to landscape, architecture and planning at the core of Span's work, the site integrates the built and natural environment to engender a sense of community and identity.

"Thirdly as an early work, and sometime home, of a highly distinguished landscape architect of the post-war period."
