Comments on: At Bedford House https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/09/29/at-bedford-house/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 07 Dec 2017 16:25:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Rich https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/09/29/at-bedford-house/#comment-1184963 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 16:25:18 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=44692#comment-1184963 I don’t know who owns it but it’s now run by Oaksure , a property guardian company who did internal work to make it habitable . I believe around 30-40 property guardians now live there. A great use for an old building, providing affordable living space to young people in central London.

At the back of my mind, I half knew about the Bedford Institute and Bedford House, but had to research, because I was so shocked at the dilapidated state of such a beautiful building. How can this still be? Is there nothing that councils can do to persuade owners to put good (and protected) buildings to use?

Good Luck with your work and plans – and let us hope that the owner sees the light…and it grows and grows with hope and passion, as it should.

The match box label gives no clue as to who E J Rose are or what they did.
