	Heygate Estate Scandal Heygate Estate, Elephant & Castle, London. Sunday 5 June 2011
	You can just see the double yellow lines on the road below the pedestrian street There are some signs like this, but much that shows people cherished their homes here    Large slabs around the edges of the estate helped keep out noise - and inside were gardens with trees and shrubs     People who started to grow crops on the unused land were at first threatened by the council who later relented Ashenden, the large slab at right, virtually cuts out noise and pollution from the very busy New Kent Road        There was less graffiti than I expected on the estate
	A paved square with some mature trees The scale is rather intimidating, but has its advantages    Childrens activities next to a small park area while locals were discussing future possibilities for the area More of the "illegal gardening" A grassy area with trees and bushes which have been left to grow unchecked
