Listers may be unaware of a planning application submitted to Camden Council to demolish the above building, and erect a high rise block on the site - see: http://tiny.cc/etxe2. It is understood the building is the only purpose-built Georgian workhouse building in London which has been in continuous use for the sick poor of London since the 1770s - until very recently it was the Outpatients' department of the Middlesex Hospital. Anyone wishing to help urge the preservation of the old workhouse can (still) contact joanna.ecclestone@camden.gov.uk the team leader with responsibility for the planning submission to the committee at Camden Council, with a copy if possible to Roger.Bowdler@english-heritage.org.uk The Council is expected to consider the matter on November 4th 2010.
