Excalibur

Merlin: The days of our kind are numbered. The one God comes to drive out the many gods. The spirits of wood and stream grow silent. It's the way of things. Yes... it's a time for men, and their ways.
- Excalibur

BCer Rik has been photographing the Excalibur Estate and wants to share his pictures with you. Here's one. You can see the rest here. He says:

Deep in amongst the quiet back streets of Catford lies a unique 12 acre site of post-war history. The Excalibur estate, constructed in 1946 by German and Italian prisoners of war consists of 187 single-story prefab houses built as temporary accommodation to alleviate the housing shortage caused by the London blitz of the Second World War. Despite the intentions for the estate as a short term solution, Excalibur survived well beyond its forecasted ten year life span. 

Now facing demolition by Lewisham Council, the community of Excalibur is stronger than ever, and is once more summoning up the Blitz spirit and standing firm.
