Scope and Content General oblique aerial view of Whitfield Development, Dundee The Whitfield development was constructed between 1967 and 1972. It consists of two, 16-storeyed slab blocks of 360 flats, low flats and cottages, and 130 deck access blocks arranged in a hexagonal pattern. Parts were refurbished and rebuilt, c.1989. This aerial photograph shows the honeycomb-pattern of hexagonal blocks, with new developments taking place. Some areas have either been demolished or refurbished, to create private sector homes for sale or rent. The circular areas are for drying clothes. The linked blocks in this photograph were built using the 'Skarne' composite system, which used both pre-fabricated panels and sections made on site. The Skarne factory was built adjacent to the site due to the sheer scale of this development. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
