This And That, a photo by Dave Gorman on Flickr.
Thanks to Dave Gorman for the photo above, which ably demonstrates that modern investment is for generic student housing in a block called NIDO click here for more info compared with the older local authority housing blocks, originally built as slum clearance. However, will student numbers decline as a response to spiralling fees?
Compare the surface treatment of the NIDO to that of the nearby Royal London Hospital at Whitrechapel. Is there a problem when buildings with very different functions look alike? or is it the zeitgeist? or a new local Historic Landscape Character?
