	Christian Wolmar :: 20 years later at Broadwater Farm
		After the riots, the Tory government made the estate one of its priorities, pouring Â£33m into demolishing the walkways and a series of other structural improvements.
		Broadwater Farm, as she says on the programme, is a âmodel of successâ because Haringey Council and the local management team have a clear strategy that has been carried through.
		Not every estate can be as successful as the Farm which has certain inherent advantages: it is the right size to have amenities such as a doctorâs surgery and a community centre, and it is a self-contained area where a feeling of community can be developed.

	Broadwater Farm
		Built between 1967 and 1973, the present Broadwater Farm estate consists of twelve concrete-panelled blocks, most of which have four to six storeys, originally with a deck access system of pedestrianised walkways.
		In October 1985 the death of fl woman Cynthia Jarrett in a police raid on her house led to the Broadwater Farm riot in which PC Keith Blakelock was hacked to death.
		The estate-based management programme designed to address the social problems in Broadwater Farm has been relatively successful, partly through the use of ‘super-caretakers’ and also because the neighbourhood is so well-defined; other projects have attempted to encompass ‘communities’ with which residents do not identify.

	Sacrifice of a generation \| Guardian daily comment \| Guardian Unlimited
		Twenty years ago I was employed as a youth worker on the Broadwater Farm estate in Tottenham, north London, when it erupted over the death of Cynthia Jarrett during a police raid.

		As a result I was arrested three times during the Farm investigations, twice on the grounds that I was involved in the murder of PC Keith Blakelock during the disturbances.

	Christian Wolmar :: It's no surprise concrete estates never worked
		This year is the 20th anniversary of the Broadwater Farm riot which claimed the death of a policeman, Keith Blakelock, who was stabbed to death by the crowd.
		The Farm, as everyone calls it, is an inspirational place, as highlighted by the colourful four storey high mural of a waterfall that dominates the southern entrance.
		In the wake of the riot, Â£33m was spent on removing the walkways, breaking up the connections between the blocks so that people had to use the ground floor to walk round the estate, and other improvements such as brightening up the estate by painting each block a different colour.

	London Bulletin: Broadwater Farm revisited - 26/10/2005
		Twenty years ago the Broadwater Farm estate was the scene of riot and murder.
		After all, the riots took place due to anger about the death of Cynthia Jarrett, while her home was raided by police looking for information about a car tax disc.
		But, instead of looking at the Broadwater Farm riots as a breakdown in community relations, we should now regard them as the breakthrough that set the national stage for true partnerships to flourish, healing fractured communities and making sure they not only have a voice but are listened to as well.

	Observer \| Silcott talks for first time about night of PC's murder
		Winston Silcott, who was wrongly convicted and then cleared on appeal of hacking PC Keith Blakelock to death during the Broadwater Farm riot, today reveals for the first time what he was doing on the night of the killing - dozing in a flat in the block which overlooks the scene of the murder.
		Silcott, 44, was convicted on the sole basis of a disputed confession in 1987, and was cleared four years later when the Court of Appeal heard that Detective Chief Superintendent Graham Melvin, the detective in charge of the vast murder inquiry, had fabricated his statement.
		At the time of the riot and his arrest a few days later, Silcott was on bail for the earlier murder of a boxer and gangster, Anthony Smith, for which he was released from prison last October after serving 18 years.
