1916
Images of the site in 1916 show housing developments on the site of Aberfeldy Village. The marshland was drained by Scottish Engineers, hence the Scottish themed street names in the area.
1982
Following substantial bombing during the war and decline of trade in the docks, the dock was in-filled by 1982.
1998 & 2007
In 1998 and 2007 PoplarHarca, a Poplar based housing association purchase substantial plots of land surrounding the former East India docks with the vision of creating a masterplan that will provide affordable homes for the local population and essential community infrastructure.
2012
In 2012 PoplarHarca and Willmot Dixon agree to develop 1176 homes in the area in a joint venture partnership.
2014 - present
In 2014, the first residents moved into Aberfeldy Village. Since then, over 900 homes have been delivered with more to come in the future – the community at Aberfeldy is growing.
