Hello, this is Rob Clayton photographer, b.1966, @clayton.rob and I am sharing with you a selection of my images from “Estate” (1991) and “Estate - Return” (2018).
"Estate" 1990/1991
Winter Sun
A cold winter’s day illuminates the majesty and powerful statement of the six, soon to be demolished, tallest blocks. Earlier housing and low-rise maisonettes compliment and complete the scene, set off by acres of green playing fields as modernist proponents of high-rise dwellings dictated. A long-lost scene in many cities until a recent slowdown and re-evaluation of the quality of such buildings and their embedded carbon. An image that is both beautiful in its scale and presence yet foreboding in its power and statement. Lion Farm was a place, on a hinterland, just.
