 The Forest Estate at Harden was developed at around the same time as the Poet's Estate, on the southern opposite side of Harden Road, but more than 200 council houses were added in the 1950s and so was Forest Comprehensive School, which closed in 1992 due to falling numbers.The remaining pupils were transferred to Frank F. Harrison School in nearby Leamore, but the Forest buildings were retained as Hawbush Centre community facility.This section of Harden has remained largely intact and avoided the mass demolition which affected areas like the Poet's Estate.
