It no longer seems certain that Milton Court will win it’s long-running campaign to be saved, and will disappear under the wrecker’s ball. It’s now official that the latter outcome is guaranteed.
Walking through the building this week, I spotted copies of an A4-sized document pasted next to the walkway signs and on the rough concrete walls. Over the next two weeks, builders will establish 24-hour site security, and welfare and site office facilities will be put in place. Hoarding will also be erected around the perimeter of the complex, and asbestos will be removed under controlled conditions.
That’s it, then. The pre-Barbican site will soon be scaffolded, and another of London’s important architectural landmarks will be lost.
