London's East End Preservation Society launch

From Stepney History:

Dear friends of East End heritage:

Please come to the launch of
THE EAST END PRESERVATION SOCIETY
Wednesday 27 November 2013 at 6.30pm
Bishopsgate Institute
230 Bishopsgate
London EC2M 4QH

The East End Preservation Society has been set up in the wake of the recent demolitions of Mother Levy's Jewish Maternity Home and the Poplar Employment Exchange and in the face of the recent plans to demolish the London Fruit and Wool Exchange and wartime "Mickey's Shelter", 'The Gun' public house, Barclays Bank and Dorset Street; also Cheviot House and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children.

The Spitalfields Life blog has the details: http://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/11/14/the-east-end-preservation-society/
