Fairy Towers
May 1971
Two blocks, the Cleveland & Clydesdale Towers, have become particularly notorious. They were constructed between 1967 and 1971 and located on opposite sides of Holloway Circus on Holloway Head.
They became known as either 'Fairy Towers' or 'Dorothy Towers' and at one point the 'Pearly Gates', which was a reference to the numbers of men dying of AIDS in them.
