Temporary health centre, Thamesmead, London: a dental clinic

NOTES: This is one of the images collected for 'Manplan 6: Health & welfare' in Architectural Review, vol. 147, 1970 May. Thamesmead was scheduled to be completed in 1974 but was never fully finished and the projected population of 60,000 for the new town was downgraded to 45,000 by the end of the 1970s. From then around 400 houses were being built annually and by 1982, the population stood at 20,000. Since 2014 the managment and regeneration of the area has come under the aegis of Peabody.
