Thanks all casebookers, you pushed up the numbers. Dr Ruth Richardson is happy because listing the building is to be considered again. IF it had not been in use as part of a hospital it would have automatically been listed. In spite if the 1970s additions, the building is pretty sound and could be stripped back.

If everyone on here signed NOW we could get there- and if all facebookers posted it on their pages too asking friends to sign I'm sure we could double that! ......... Do It!!!

Hi All,

I just had an email from the lady in charge of the campaign to save the Cleveland Street Workhouse.

She urgently needs to get another 200 signatures in the next 24 hours.

So if you have not signed yet please do it now.

There has been encouraging news about the campaign. However, more signatures would be nice.

Yep, they are asking for more.

Signed it.

I work in an office a few doors down and often stop to peer through the security gates on my way to the newsagents for a quick snack. I’ve often thought it would be interesting to have a look around, but from what I can see through the windows the fixtures and fittings are clearly 1970s and not many original features have survived.

I could be wrong, but I think it will ultimately be condemned to the same fate as Middlesex Hospital, although hopefully any redevelopment will be seen through to its conclusion this time. The Middlesex Hospital site is now just one large creator which cost Candy & Candy millions to dig.

It's amazing though just how much light now enters the office

Thanks folks. It's gone over the thousand.

Rebump.

[Robert]

Bump.

The petition is now up to 969, so only thirty one to go, so thanks to all casebookers who have signed, but please more signatures! I am going to see if I can take some photographs of the workhouse this week. Miss Marple
