Oh, apologies, case of not reading properly. Yes, correct! I thought it was about reuse ♻️

Allies and Morrison did this in 2009 with the old Arsenal stadium - Highbury Square

Yes! At one time the largest construction site in Europe, no doubt lots of other big claims

Absolutely a need for someone to bring it all together, with the fascinating history of ships and trade etc

Hi William, I developed a walking tour of the Royal Docks so have done a bit of research on this. It’s all quite disparate, and focused on Canary Wharf, but there is quite a lot out there. This is good for post-LDDC - repeaterbooks.com/product/rege...

100% agree, and you got the best seat!

It would need to be in Essex.. Open House Colchester?! 🏠 I joke, well sort of, there is no open house festival eastwards but there should be!!

Thanks! Will take a look 📕

Mmm.. interesting, I thought there might be early pilgrim texts from the crusaders?
