I love that house. All my childhood memories are there. So this is great news. The area is changing but that doesn’t mean everything needs to go.

If old things keep getting torn down, the history of that place will be lost forever. We have similar problems here in the States. So, congratulations!!

WHELER HOUSE is still under threat of demolition! We will fight as hard as we can to stop our homes being sacrificed. Thanks to all the Spitalfields life readers and to the Gentle Author for your support.

They are nice they even find time to grow pot plants. Allahu Akbar God is Greater. John B.

Lets hope that EastEnd Homes now do the maintenance work on these buildings as agreed when the estate was handed over by Tower Hamlets Council in 2006. I’m also happy as I do so enjoy the 1920s buildings and the beautiful gardens as seen from Bell Lane when I pass by.

How relieved they must feel. Well done to all who campaigned and to those who were willing to listen.

For those with no immediate connection, like myself, it is heartening to know that good sense has prevailed. It keeps the faith alive.
