==History==
Roundshaw was built on the site of the former Croydon Airport which once occupied the buildings of the first Croydon Aerodrome (originally named 'Plough Lane') which was demolished in 1928. The estate is commemorated in various ways; the naming of roads after aircraft, personalities, and firms linked with aviation to recall the airport's history: Mollison Drive, Lindbergh Road, Olley Close, Avro Way, Brabazon Avenue among other related aviation names.〔Croydon Online, Croydon Airport; 2015;〕 The name of the estate comes from Roundshaw Park on the edge of the site, named from a round 'shaw' or grove of trees.〔The history of Roundshaw in Sutton, Sutton Borough Council; 2015;〕
The estate accommodates approximately 1,800 homes. Construction began in 1965 with the first tenants moving in August 1967. The original pre-cast concrete flats and masonettes were heated from a central communal boiler house. This was demolished during the regeneration of the estate, which the newly-refurbished homes incorporate their own energy-efficient modern heating systems.
Sutton Borough Council were the sole proprietors of the Roundshaw housing stock until 2007, when the responsibility was commissioned to Metropolitan and Hyde Housing Group who jointly created Roundshaw Homes. In 2015 the estate was transferred solely to Metropolitan.〔http://www.metropolitan.org.uk/1800-home-roundshaw-estate-transfers-to-metropolitan;〕
