Constructed between 1935 and 1937, the 12 structures comprising the iconic Brutalist complex were designed by the Tecton practice, a London-based association founded in 1932 by Berthold Lubetkin, that was highly instrumental in bringing Modernist architecture to Britain.

Tom Hicks is a contemporary photographer who places words at the centre of his work. His current project, Black Country Type, is a photographic exploration of the post-industrial landscape of the region.

30 years on from his first visit Photographer Rob Clayton has returned to the estate that gave him inspiration as a student.
