o00o 101 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) google says its this one: at 89-93 Newington Causeway, an old bank. Now demolished and a new yuppiedrome, The Signal Building, in its place. here is an article about it: https://southwarknotes.wordpress.com/local-development-sites/eileen-hse-neobrand-hollybrook/ Edited February 13, 2017 by o00o Link to post Share on other sites

I did know the bank's address years ago... was actually the reason Richard got in touch with me to begin with in early 2001 - some fool posted a Yahoo Maps (or MapQuest) map to 98 Stoke Newington on the joyrex.com forums... Richard kindly asked me to remove it and the rest is history. Link to post Share on other sites

user 551 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Shouldn't joyrex.com also be preserved as some sort of historical digital landmark? Link to post Share on other sites
Joyrex 1555 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Shouldn't joyrex.com also be preserved as some sort of historical digital landmark? I would love to get it back, but the domain squatter that owns it last I checked wanted 1000.00 USD or more for it... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 domain squatter is a great word. we could always start a kickstarter, but it would tickly my jumbo's to give the squatter a 1000 mon€¥$ Link to post Share on other sites

aquagak 0 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Fuck... should have been preserved as a historical landmark. I agree, some interesting points from the council meeting: http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s23297/Newington%20Causeway%20Report.pdf BACKGROUND INFORMATION Site location and description 6..."The site is currently occupied by a 4 storey building, originally built for banking purposes, though more recently converted to a residential use. It dates to the early twentieth century, is not listed, nor is it of significant value given it does not form part of a historical grouping of buildings.".... Wish someone had taken the opportunity to register it in the heritage listing! Architecturally it its quite a beautiful building. Sadly the architecture company involved in the new deign scheme had no idea of the cultural significance of this building. Planning history 13. "There is no relevant formal planning history for the site. The site was bought by the current owner in March 2006 who advises that at the point of sale the property appeared to have been unlawfully occupied for some time as a dwelling or dwellings, though the use was never regularised and the site is now vacant. Therefore, historically the site had a lawful A2 (Bank) use. The existing floorspace is 490sq.m over 4 floors (or 122.5sq.m per floor) with upper floors as ancillary B1 office space (367.5sq.m)." Unlawful occupation of the building... Would be interesting to dig up the original floor plans, they would be in a public registry somewhere in London I imagine. 50 "Ministry of Sound, Gaunt Street: In the course of consideration of this application several submissions have been made objecting to the development." looks as though Ministry of Sound fiercely objected to the new proposal Link to post Share on other sites

I would love if Richard published a book on his photography stuff - interesting to see and read about the stories behind some of his more notable photos... BTW, the address (since he's long since moved from there) was 98 Stoke Newington - I don't think the bank itself exists at that address anymore... Link to post Share on other sites
Amen Warrior 501 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 It never existed at that address, as the the bank wasn't in stoke newington and also "98 stoke newington" isn't an address :) Link to post Share on other sites
adiscoball 6 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I found this a good while back, and it was said to have been a picture of the bank before it was destroyed and replaced. Dunno if it's true. Link to post Share on other sites
