This was on our petition and shows that it is not just a Rotherham question, all over England Heritage and culture is being sacrificed. - Mother Levys was a unique hospital building in East London, formally known as the Jewish Maternity Home, built in 1911. It too was left unprotected by the local council as they would not place it on their Local List or include it in the Conservation Area. They subsequently sold it and it was therefore able to demolished - even before a public planning consultation. Just like Doncaster Gate Hospital, it seems. And just like your still-standing historic hospital building, it could have been adapted for reuse as housing. Tragic. There is another lesson from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in their recent decision to demolish the Queen Elizabeth Childrens Hospital: https://change.org/en-GB/petitions/boris-johnson-mayor-of-london-please-say-no-to-a-proposed-nine-storey-development-on-the-site-of-the-old-queen-elizabeth-children-s-hospital-on-the-corner-of-hackney-road-and-goldsmith-s-row-it-s-overbearing-ugly-and-not-good-enough queenelizabethhospitalsite.wordpress/ Its still standing, like Doncaster Gate Hospital, but both face demolition, despite huge numbers of local people opposing these destructions. Can this really be localism at work?
