I was very sad when I heard she had died. Please do count me in both as regards her house and the wider issues of appalling planned developments in or around Brick Lane (which I think will obliterate both the past and the future of the whole area) : I have lived near and worked in Brick Lane for 45 years. Annetta Pedretti’s was and is a fine and extraordinary house & she herself such a strong person.

Hopefully, this property can be restored to something close to its original condition and be included on a list of historic houses open for public viewing.

I am so pleased that Assemble have been given the task of transforming it into a centre for resistance against the exploitative developments which are ruining the East End, thus continuing Annetta’s work in a very positive way.

It will be a great place for all the concerned grassroots campaigns to come together and share their experiences and support each other.

I made a scale model of the house during lockdown last year and so I already know it well, but your fantastic photos have highlighted some details which have been revealed since I was last there. For example the many layers of wall paper, and the surprising pink door!

Looking forward to Louis’s talk tonight!
