200th article – World’s End Chelsea
September 20th, 2011
Tonight I’ve reached something of a milestone for the blog. They may not all be great writing, they may not all have good photographs or indeed any photographs. But in just over two years I have managed to churn out two hundred articles with thanks in order to the London Evening Standard for Plot to rid council estates of poor which started all this off on 9th July 2009.
That one article triggered an intense study on my part of so called regeneration (de-house the poor) across London, and a keen interest in the C20th Society to whom a great debt of thanks is due for all their walks and talks which have taken my architectural knowledge from a low base to what you see on this blog.
Thirdly London Open House which has provided myself and many others with both the opportunity and the inspiration to study buildings inside and out and I have had many happy excursions both with and without the London Open House weekends.
Last and by no means least contact with other bloggers, journalists, architects, residents, councillors and politicians. Links which have all been made as a direct result of my interest in housing and my fear for the well being of those most in need of truly affordable and well designed housing.
Thank you to everybody who reads this blog and especially to those who occasionally write in.
