Those thin pillar are most likely decorative. This estate reminds me that “insomnia” clip from Faithless. I wonder if the videoclip was filmed there. Anyone have any insight on this? The black and white film gives the brutalist architecture that extra bit of character in the video.
'Insomnia' appears to be filmed elsewhere. That "corrugated" texture of the exterior walls was used in many, many UK estates, but I don't see any of it in Alton. Also there's many shots of him strolling along the garage level, and I don't see any garages like that in Alton. Now *Fahrenheit 451* that was filmed here.
Alton Estate Roooooe-hampton!... as seen in François Truffaut's epic 'Fahrenheit 451'. That title is either the kindling temperature of books or... a good nickname for Julie Christie! :D th-cam.com/video/x9iyKI2pJbE/w-d-xo.html
Great feature, seldom seen before or since. Ironically, these Brutalist buildings are quite fire-resistant, due to all the _beton brut_ (raw concrete), until poofty and corrupt councils come along and wrap them in highly flammable *cladding*
FYI: Those private walkways are upstairs fire exits had same in homfeald house W10 opposite Trelik towers still nice to see old 60s housing still working for people that live in them top work Beno 👍
I lived above the shops in 1975

What could the transmitters be for? No cell site on the roof and they look like the laser transmitters for LOS. Wonder what they are transmitting?
Great video as always Beno!!
Have you watched the documentary 'Don't Look Down' with James Kingston and Mustang Wanted?
what do you even do when the door gets jammed and ur on the inside
The private floor is a fire escape floor. The maisonettes have upstairs fire doors that open on to it.

Roehampton*
What do the line of sight transmitters do?
They look very old. I don't know if they transmit IP data or if it is some weird custom system. They might be the live streams from the cameras.
Lift Alarm. Press 3 for location or press # to speak with trapped passengers.
Motor room was unlock but the ladder was lock
