Comments on: Good News For The Marquis Of Lansdowne! https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/05/21/good-news-for-the-marquis-of-lansdowne/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 22 May 2015 10:03:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Michael Payne https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/05/21/good-news-for-the-marquis-of-lansdowne/#comment-959080 Fri, 22 May 2015 10:03:24 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=134235#comment-959080 Great story. The personal recollections really brought things to life. I loved the bit about Lily taking shelter in the spirits cellar during the Blitz. If you’re going to go; go with a smile on your face!

Will the various planning authorities use this as a template? Will Heritage England start to get more pro-active and fulfill its function?

I would like to think the answer to each of those questions would be a resounding ‘yes’ but …..

But this is good news and let’s hope Norton Folgate can emulate it.

But until Norton Folgate is reprieved, there can not be any let up in the pressure exerted on all the constituents determined to rip out, tear down and replace with another disposable scheme. Heritage rocks!

But – marvellous news, anyway.
