In a previous post, I mentioned the new Hackney Road Conservation Area document and the fascinating background it gave on buildings in the area. As visitors to the blog have pointed out, shortly before the Conservation Area came into force, the owners undertook what planners call a "pre-emptive demolition" and what anyone else would call cultural vandalism.
As good an argument as any for the need to develop conservation areas if we want to protect the historic fabric of Shoreditch.
