Victoria Park Estate, Macclesfield, Cheshire East. Three girls standing beside a stone wall, looking towards flats in the distance at the Victoria Park development, built using the 12M Jespersen system.
In 1963, John Laing and Son Ltd bought the rights to the Danish industrialised building system for flats known as Jespersen (sometimes referred to as Jesperson). The company built factories in Scotland, Hampshire and Lancashire producing Jespersen prefabricated parts and precast concrete panels, allowing the building of housing to be rationalised, saving time and money. The Victoria Park development in Macclesfield, lying between the park and the centre of town, was built by Laing in two phases using the 12M Jespersen system. Providing around 500 flats, the design consisted of thirteen interlinked blocks forming a series of courts with landscaped gardens. The first phase was completed in 1968 with the second phase started in the same year. This photograph was published in June 1968 in Laings monthly newsletter Team Spirit

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Victoria Park Estate in Macclesfield, Cheshire East. Three young girls stand beside a sturdy stone wall, their gazes fixed towards the distant flats of the Victoria Park development. These flats were built using the innovative 12M Jespersen system, which was introduced to Britain by John Laing and Son Ltd in 1963. The Jespersen system revolutionized the construction industry by allowing for prefabricated parts and precast concrete panels to be produced in factories across Scotland, Hampshire, and Lancashire. This streamlined approach saved both time and money during the building process. Situated between a park and the town center, the Victoria Park development consisted of thirteen interconnected blocks that formed charming courts with beautifully landscaped gardens. Providing approximately 500 flats, this project was completed in two phases. The first phase was finished in 1968 while work on the second phase began simultaneously. Published in June 1968 as part of Laings' monthly newsletter "Team Spirit" this photograph showcases not only an architectural achievement but also captures a slice of everyday life during that era. It serves as a testament to how innovation can shape our surroundings while providing comfortable homes for communities to thrive within.
