New apartments on Whalebone Lane

On this site at the junction of Whalebone Lane, Chadwell Heath High Road and London Road, opposite the Tollgate pub, once stood a used car lot and a massage sauna parlour, which caught fire in the 1980s and remained in its burnt state without a roof ever since. A few years ago, however, these new apartments were constructed on the site. I have mixed feelings about this to be honest. It is a good job, as the burnt out building really did look something of an eyesore, but it's also a memory that died - there is no trace of the original building left on the site now.
