I’m so pleased the campaign has been successful. My family originated from Bethnal Green and I took a walk down Vallance Rd recently to look at the terrace, for what I assumed would be the last time. Let’s hope the Council now seem the wisdom in some thoughtful and fitting refurbishment!

I have never been more delighted to admit that I have been proved WRONG, when I first heard of the news that the East End Preservation Society was to be set up my natural cynicism led me to pour scorn on the idea assuming that no pressure group would ever be able to stem the tide of property developer’s from trampling over anyone who dared to stand in the way of their relentless pursuit of profit, AT WHATEVER COST TO THE COMMUNITY, I am now pleased to say how wrong I was, but still with natural caution, I can only hope that this will prove to be an outright victory and not just a temporary reprieve, fantastic photo’s of the Pavilion, I offer my sincere thank’s and respect to all those actively involved in the society.

I’m so happy about this and agree with David, there’s so much here to fight for! I walked past this terrace today and wanted to put out bunting and hold a street party.

Excellent news. This should just be the start. There are many more perhaps less architecturally and historically important yet still aesthetically pleasing buildings of similar human scale that should also be saved for the future.

I was born in Bethnal Green and lived at 5 Cambridge Heath Road for many years – this is close to Vallance Road. I have been horrified how Tower Hamlets have allowed Whitechapel and Mile End Road to rot and decay. There are many monuments and buildings of interest on these roads, including the Alms House and Wickhams that are decaying and will soon fall down. I am very very happy to see that this stretch on Vallance Road will survive. A truly great success.
