We moved to Jesus Green in east London in 1989 when our eldest daughter was nine months old. The estate consisted of 321 houses in a series of two-storey, flat-fronted brick Victorian terraces, built in 1862 by the Jesus Hospital Estate charity, itself established in 1679 by James Ravenscroft. In 1972 house clearing created an attractive landscaped communal garden in the centre of the estate.
