Note for Editors:
Originally named the Well Hall Estate, The Progress Estate was built in 1915 to provide housing for the many additional workers the Woolwich Arsenal needed to manufacture the armaments required by the services during the First World War. Conservation Area status was granted in 1975, in recognition of its unique architectural character.
