We have the old hospital wall (maintained by English Heritage) and the concrete lamp post (albeit with a modern lantern installed) versus the new, contemporary flats on British Street. Which do you think will stand the test of time? If you're wondering how I got access into the site (the site has been closed to the public since 2005), I have two friends from university who are working on a project to convert the hospital site into a Community Land Trust, passed by Boris Johnson last year.
