By coincidence, two grants have been offered for contrasting repair projects in Highgate.
One of £198,772 is for repairs to Highpoint, an internationally-famed modern movement
development of reinforced concrete flats designed by Lubetkin and Tecton in 1935 and
1938. The other is a grant of £26,988 towards the latest phase in the rescue of Highgate
Cemetery. It is for the repair of the terrace catacombs.
A grant of £38,759 has been offered for the repair and conversion of Wapping Hydraulic
Pumping Station to a rehearsal room and recording studio for the Academy of St Martin’s
in the Fields. Still in the East End, a grant of £122,360 has been offered for the repair of
Taplow House on the Boundary Estate, the pioneer London City Council housing
scheme of the turn of the century.
Grants to churches include £69,614 towards the repair of St Martin’s Ludgate, one of the
few Wren City churches to survive virtually unaltered, and £47,921 towards the repair of St
John’s, Bethnal Green which was designed by Sir John Soane.
