The Warner Estate is an area of housing in Waltham Forest in East London.[1][2]
The quality of the housing was high:[2]
But the terraces built by the Warner company, which often bear the mark 'W', are notable for the quality of their workmanship and are in distinctive styles, often in bold red brick, with gables, recessed porches, and tiled roofs.
The area was developed by Courtenay Warner and the Warner Company, who developed the land himself rather then selling it off.[3]
The homes were split into two flats. The paint scheme create a uniformed appearance, and by 1900 these homes became some sought after.[4]
