Morland Estate opened in January 1961. Its three low-rise and one high-rise tower block was designed by the borough’s chief assistant architect RH Harrison. When the estate opened it took the number of council homes built in Hackney since World War II past the 4000 mark.

Today Morland Estate, is home to close to 300 people – made up of a diverse community of tenants, leaseholders and private renters. To celebrate the estate’s 60th anniversary and help tell the stories of its people, I took these portraits of a dozen families living on the estate during 2021. Each family has shared memories of living here.

This project was funded by Hackney Council.
