There's no mention of underpinning.

It's probably settled now anyway it's the fact it was built using concrete without andy reinforcing steel in the concrete to give it strength. I though I'd read it was just concrete sheet shuttered when built so no integrated reinforcement. If it was build today it'd have steel reinforcing inside the concrete.

So without the steel I would have though it'll just crack again probably where there were no cracks before.

Sadly the blog for the redevelopment died a death last July.


But the main fencing has now come down as they're landscaping and wow, the house looks amazing. It's so lovely to see it restored to its former glory. I do hope that there will be a chance for interested locals to have a look before it gets sold on. Well done colin.s if you're still involved!

It's not being demolished! It's being renovated by Hexagon housing association. The building will be conserved and turned into flats. About time too! It's been in a state of terminal decline for over 20 years. I'm glad it's finally being turned into homes, whilst preserving it historic features.

    • The fact is, high spec phones are worth money. Be secure - passwords, face recognition, strong passwords for your banking etc.  Get your phones backed up. Get your phone insured. Don't fight if you are being robbed. It’s just a phone. Be safe. Annoying as it is, it’s prolific and you can take steps to minimise your chance of being targeted.
    • Your point being what? Kids in face masks all in black? Being going on in ED for years..  wake up, gangs are around or is this first time you have been aware.. No doubt your hubby walked away - probably ran when he felt safe..
    • Fine people for wearing face coverings??? Do you remember covid?
    • John recently installed our kitchen and has done a stellar job. He took a lot of care to make sure all of the details were right, in our Edwardian house that has very few straight lines. He worked really hard and attention to detail and problem solving was excellent. Highly recommend.    topmarxkitchens@gmail.com   https://www.facebook.com/p/Top-Marx-Kitchens-100054431982311/?checkpoint_src=any
