Tower blocks [ edit ]
Hodgson Tower
Aston underwent large scale redevelopment following the Second World War . South Aston was designated a renewal area involving comprehensive redevelopment of the traditional area known as "Aston New Town".[3] The area, was more commonly called simply "Newtown" and is a large estate consisting of sixteen tower blocks, five of which have since been demolished. The project was approved in 1968. Three 20-storey tower blocks on the complex contained 354 flats alone.[4]
