1975 >
Juniper House was salvaged from the bulldozers in 1976 by local residents From Kender Tenants Association.. A post-war Greater London Council estate, by the mid-1970’s Juniper had fallen into serious disrepair. People were living the roof, copper wirew was being stripped, and the local community realised that if something were not done urgently, 75 valuable units of social housing would be lost.
A series of meeting was arranged, the result being Juniper House Co-operative. The building was restored and managed by the unpaid work of residents.
