STILL AT RISK
Fire Station
Old Kent Road, Southwark
Listed Grade II
Fire station built 1903-4 by the London
County Council. In private ownership
for many years, with only ground floor in
use. Upper stories in poor condition, and
building badly in need of a scheme for
sympathetic conversion. The Council is
exploring options with the owner.
Years on Register: 20
haggerston Baths
Hackney
Listed Grade II
Public baths and swimming pool opened in
1904. Closed since 2000, Hackney Council
has appointed project architects to prepare
a scheme for repair and re-use, although the
current financial situation is likely to have a
bearing on this.
Years on Register: 17
Finsbury health Centre
Pine Street, Islington
Listed Grade 1
Seminal Modern Movement health
centre built 1935-8 to the design of
Berthold Lubetkin. Conservation plan and
management guidelines grant aided by
English Heritage. The Health Authority is
considering vacating the building. Its future
remains in serious doubt.
Years on Register: 18
Old Oxgate Farm
Coles Green Road, Brent
Listed Grade II *
A remarkable survival within inter-war
suburbia. This 16th-century timber framed
building is in very poor condition and
requires major repair. English Heritage is
pursuing this with Brent Council, which is
negotiating with the owner and considering
a possible subsidy from a developer for an
adjacent site. Progress is slow and complex.
