This print captures a significant moment in the history of Millbank Estate, located in the heart of Greater London. The image showcases the diligent efforts of workers as they repair Ruskin House, one of twelve blocks of flats on the estate that suffered bomb damage during World War II. Constructed by the London County Council in the early 20th century, Millbank Estate stands as a testament to architectural excellence and urban planning. Its enduring presence is a reminder of its historical significance and contribution to London's landscape. In this snapshot from the 1940s, we witness an elevated view of Ruskin House amidst ongoing reconstruction. Builders and workmen can be seen meticulously restoring this iconic building back to its former glory.

As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how communities came together after adversity struck.
