Several hundred people were able to visit the historic houses on Little Green Street  yesterday (Saturday 19 September).

All were shocked to realise that this is probably the last time they will be able to visit, as the tearing up of the cobbles is due to start as soon as the developers can convince Camden Council that their flaky finances are sufficiently robust.

If you visited and want to do something, Frances Wheat at Camden (frances.wheat@camden.gov.uk) is the name to contact - do call on 020 7974 1680, but if you are in media or otherwise can influence people who might be able to intervene and stop this madness (remember - it has planning permission, albeit with onerous conditions well beyond the competencies and funds of the current developer) then please do help.

If you're considering buying this problem development off the current heavily over-mortgaged owners, read carefully. Even if you think you'll make a better job of it than ham-fisted attempts of the past nine years, it isn't the easiest win. We all make mistakes. Buying the railway club site was world class. Don't make the same error. You'll never make a penny off it. Do the math. What margin? Don't say we didn't tell you.
