History:

In 1926, Lord Iveagh commissioned the construction of this housing scheme, which was meticulously designed by O'Callaghan & Webb. Over the course of a decade, from 1926 to 1936, this project took shape. Originally dubbed the Guinness Trust, the establishment of the Iveagh Trust dates back to 1890, courtesy of Edward Cecil Guinness, the inaugural Earl of Iveagh.

The scheme stands as a testament to early suburban architecture, marked by its thoughtful design and impeccable craftsmanship.
