Dawsons Heights London SE22 Kate Macintosh, the architect behind Dawsons Heights,very kindly sent me some archival images of the estate. They show the way the scheme looked when the bridges (now demolished), linking the low blocks to the lift towers were in place, allowing wheel chair users & mums with prams a shorter route.
