Cherry in 7 seconds. You're absolutely right Ana Ana has just sent me a photo of her favorite town hall and it's my favorite town hall too and I'd completely forgotten what just a lot of look to she says Walthamstow town hall it's amazing a visit Oh I had from Canada thought it was bucket but. We should have told me woe's you must always take advantage of that sort of thing you're in there in the London oil and you're with Americans tell them of the Crystal Palace receiver is that is. The one in Paris was it called The awful. Playful obviously but I agree with you Wolf and start town hall is just one of the most beautiful modernist buildings in London can you can any town hall beat will from Star there's a there's a challenge for you and now it's not just the town hall live or to the as you're looking at it from the road to the right of with them so turn away there's another fantastic modernist building and I actually presented some in some awards in there one time for with Mr Council and then there's another even maybe even better a slightly brutalist building to the left of it as you're looking than what that is I think it might be the courts or something. That whole section of Wortham study grandeur in a modernists and absolutely to Laureus Well well remember them so at the moment I'm going for them so Town Hall is my favorite and this you can beat somebody might have an opinion on this is Kathy Clark in Kathy's on the line now she's an inspector of historic buildings in areas of historic England and she's about still just good morning Cassie Good morning Margaret do you know Wolf I'm so townhome I do yes I think it's a fantastic course and I say it's great that it comes to look at the facts of that save it building around it which it missed on topics I think yeah I don't presume with them so Town Hall was thirty's or something yes I believe it was yeah yeah and I think one of the buildings on 5 at the concert hall was at the same time yet the cars and then the other one is more kind of sixty's seventy's but yeah you're right yeah what was the sort of grandeur of town the whole building really is Edwardian. I mean I feel like Victorian and warty I'm with a real time because they were they were small and our whole industry whole from sort of the 1840s following the Municipal Corporation back in the teeth and then the solution grew and local authorities got so much more power and obviously the population of London spiraled at that time as well so as the 19th century when Tommy got more and more and grander and grander town halls and then he had to know that kind of thing about the twenty's and thirty's as well. We've got many more town halls than we've got councils at the moment haven't we because it was in 1966 I mean that they will amalgamated. Yeah so I mean this is actually happened a few times all that different local government tactic mean it meant that the boundaries of shifted so you get all these buildings that became essentially defunct for their original purpose as the main town whole 'd of estradiol but then they were often held by the council and kept playing a part in the local community even if it's you know prevented so soon that the firmament is or what happens needed if it is important that we keep these as civic and therefore communal buildings do you think. I mean I think they certainly lend sells well to say race and they play such a part in local places often really well connected as well so I don't know if any of your listeners will know I get a town hall which is got this fantastic maritime and imagery on the brilliance of the ship carvings that it's an amazing building. And that really links it to its area and often the most iconic prominent as well I'm happy he's brilliant double white spaces between Olsen council chambers which mean they lend themselves but later to some kind of at least semi public exists now structural community use so it's great for them to carry on that kind of function what we can now County Hall on the banks of the terms as as essentially a town hall. Yeah I guess so I mean it's obviously slightly different based and it's a loaf a lot bigger I mean I think it's got miles and miles of Cardo I mean I've been there a few times and you always find something near you you know you find these amazing sort of. I love all rooms with stacks of that used to hold stacks of books and it's got many layers of baseness with adults holding up the pen so it's it's a fantastic building this is it is a really great building County Yeah and I and the old in chambers are still intact . Yes So there's repeated claims chamber which I believe. They have trickled performance recently because they play. And then there's a lot of the spaces that been repurposed of various things like a part of it's a hotel but then there's also. Lots of different visitor attractions or restaurants that's it varies as to how much it uses such as the interiors of the buildings but it's on the same here which is kind of got to got to be somehow and that's what we like to encourage it I guess one of the other things some of these old in inverted commas defunct town who was do is they sort of keep alive the memory of an area I'm thinking particularly of Finsbury town Yes which is an area of London you know if you said friends were now most people might think it's going about Finsbury Park but of course it's a very historic problem here that's right and all these all these Town Halls of like it said about that 1st quite a strong link to the area and they were they were real. Epitome of civic pride at the time they would build enough for them to lots of money and a lot of stories put in and make a strong kind of communal history of the people who live in the area as well they often have such a deep connection to it because the faculty married here will in a Karen state and it links people to that place for a while from the local Lama says Well I you know started out with these amazing towers like in Mombasa and well which means I've visible from a long way away and I believe in return Oh you can get married again now for a long time it was kind of quiet and shop Yes Here you're right it. Doesn't c.v.s. Or it's in good use them at the moment for supply and innovative use but yes now that's the sad thing when things are again which is it's great and it means that it's even more people get to get to use it again and it carries on its original function and that's very much in the new very style. Yeah it's very eclectic fringe Berea it's one of my favorites actually and our particular kind of kind of facade that full very very asymmetric with every cone is a bit different and if it's fine for a while there were. The other ones are there any thought about some of the ones that we might not know about the way you think we probably should. Then I mean there are an awful lot of mean everywhere to fit so in it's own town hall let's say places like Croydon they have such a fantastic I mean there's a very dramatic because now that we're curtains it's got to depict power and it's because crying was obviously trying to assert itself is sort of is a separate town I mean there is still very much it's an identity and center but it was it was really far more separate in the search of the late 19th century early 20th and so it was really asserting itself and so you've got this very dramatic building there and then in lots of different parts of London you've got this kind of smaller more polite buildings but they're often very they still have such presence on the street. And I'm trying to give any particular examples here I mean things like Hammersmith town halls hidden away at the moment but there's a public consultation out to make it a bit more ram more I put in and they have still developing this game for that. But that's a bit of a tucked away gem with the sort of slightly Scandinavian tourists and and cartridges of father tend to link to the river on the end it's a great building. Some adjustment. Richmond upon Thames Town Hall which is part of not that one of the 2. That's not one I'm very familiar with I noticed the some nice ones out that way and I think that's quite early ones in the Richmond area as well. Bathroom come in I think Richmond once in a complex way that I think it's next to a library building as well which is true of a lot of a lot of the town halls are linked with with of the buildings a particular case wasn't in Taunton and there's a fire station the town hole and I think the blasts in a row which are all in a kind of matching style make such a nice piece with this green unfriend. Instead of such a thing yes you appreciate if you mainly get around central London so much to live by it see these things but I mean there is architecturally dramatic is a lot of the more prestigious buildings of Les Mis I mean it's interesting isn't it because it's hard to imagine now off having the kind of civic pride or commitment or something to build these very grand rather ostentatious buildings Yeah and I think that was part of that I mean as it went through trying to century they did keep rebuilding because they needed to make modern requirements for the next and buildings but I guess it was seen as as risky to start drawing and also lots of money into something very or inspiring times of a strike and 2nd fountains for councils and that's the situation I guess will happen in today as well if there are over bridges the river of town who are building you. Know not us I'm aware of except in the sense that most of state older ones so the vast majority priest with just 1000 photos will be listed as the such important. Such important landmark buildings incompetence of architectural value and craftsmanship putting to them so on the historic England register of buildings which is online listed buildings you can look up look up all these buildings and find some really fantastic things just hidden away in your own area where our assembly hall is because it's going to recall as it's Town Hall him and just up the road there's the assembly room. Well I mean that would have been something that most areas would have some sort of bits of the effect of like it's a civic buildings an assembly halls might of dated from before town halls as well so before formal local government there was still a need for gathering places and there is people of all kinds of structural stropped there at the time would be needed somewhere to house kind of bazaars and bounces lectures to that meeting so they sometimes predate. Town halls and that might have been incorporated into the most for most of that function later on do you know what's happening with Hoban town hall because Hogan was the smallest bar in London and it had its town home so just the very top end of I think it was on. Where you got me there so I don't know about that I'm not sure what the feature is that they're saying that for a long long time yeah yeah I mean it may speed buildings even if they used for the same as now will still be under council ownership and will be leased out for the off and now aiming to make a little more money out of the prime decisions and some tough that interiors say and perhaps how we would hope that the skiing in place for it is there is there a website where people could look this stuff up Kathy. Well there's no particular place with lots of detail except there is a contest stick such a face for Hi I'm by a gentleman who did some series of affairs on a big guy called I'm Timmy Coleman the same beach for photos of town caused by Richie listeners might be interested in and then on our website historic England to apply we've got a guy to get it building listings which also shows some fantastic examples from the country it's been a pleasure talking to you Kathy thank you very very much a pleasure thanks for the inspector of historic buildings for storage and we all talked about some great buildings I want to your 5 stories you that I see is Wembley Town Hall and Bring all all Wimbley town who and bring the town whole woman the sign place because I say go and watch wrestling I'm sure I used to go again I'm talking of memories of being really I suppose what wrestling with my Aunt Joyce probably Any went a couple of times but the event would it's one. At what I thought was Wembley town The great Joe Martin and that I'm come great. May you know if it's 1030 which means it's time for the news headlines from Christian faith.

Me I'm on my side one of the mosques here is finished the Polish Mr Abbey will see Islam to day is b.b.c. Radio London. And this is clearly a really interesting subject because we get a fantastic response loads of people sending emails and tweets and texts and the more the merrier I say we're talking to holds and Katherine says My mother was a cellist and played with many orchestras including the for the money or in the sixties seventies and eighties the film on his mind recording studio was Abbey Road but for opera recordings where you need more musicians extra large orchestras it cetera they used town halls across London favorites were actin what food Walthamstow don't think somewhere down tooting ones with why terminals were used because of this size because the acoustics were usually very good but some of the world's greatest opera divas from Maria callous placid Oh Domingo Jessye Norman Podhoretz et al were found in the most unlikely of places. The recordings they made some of the greatest opera recordings ever produced made here in London townhomes How fantastic is that work great great email isn't it didn't I'm going to really mix a lot of things up a remark I made but I've got it in my mind the Pink Floyd then they record the tell the war you know we know that one. Then they recorded it in a town hall with a local school kid singing can sum up what we were. Certainly but if anyone else does give us a ring. So Pink Floyd and the wall and a town hall I'm sure there's a story there I also had a part in one stage is when I went to a concert hall isn't in town hall I was really impressed by the fantastic toilets in the price but the best I've seen for a long time but if it uses. Oh I'm glad you like the toilets Pat It's always good to know it's Lincoln Town who. Used to always fly the red flag didn't literally fly the red flag it's a communist flag above the town Oh and didn't have a big bust of leadin as you will think I'm pretty sure they did that was it going to the town hall back in the I s. . Let's talk to Paul English a Ballot Bowl a low. Going to talk to about art deco town halls. One in Greenwich which is absolutely fantastic a red brick and modern It's quite toothless building if it actually was a Greenwich town oh what was it called you know it was going to town hall in his building one $128.00 but he was never part of the town hall. Now it's got a couple of rooms in it it was designed for to downsize a minor hole and a major hole which had quite big city spaces which are now occupied by kind of stunts Academy right shows being put to good use separate It's never really been the Town Hall and the painting chamber in that part of the. The area was never occupied it was just changed into what's now going to school of management but it's such an impressive building with this massive tower but people don't seem to see it it seems to be invisible of never hidden or there's a massive great big tower Well it was designed in the early part of the 20th century by a guy called William to doc who was a Dutch architect and I think he also designed a town hall and somewhere like Harry viewing which again is red brick and of the time sometimes stick buildings but most of Coles in the 1920 s. Something of a shock to see that sort of building and just look at some pictures does it look a bit like a power station Yeah it does but look like a power station with a massive clock on it then ever to play with my laptop it looks a bit like the one that the kind type most intimate Yes yes but inside it's beautiful paneling it's. Beautiful. Handrails and the like and I was involved in doing a function there in one of the rooms that had been the t.v. There was a there was a pitcher drawn on the wall recording the 1st ever play in this country that had been on that only that sorry for Henry the 8th that what was percent policy so just 6 groups in the local community a lot of it is needing refurbishing in the future the building is somewhat uncertain with you know with a sort of cuts that we all have to bear I'm sure if you know if you like your art that how I'm sure you know and you know London and you cross the river I'm sure you must know the one up in well Hill. A common border which town hall it was it's a now 19 twenty's thirty's building which has been shut for a very long time of you have been up to that one I can recall that one there is more on that is again modernist but I thought it was a going or somewhere like this right and yet now this one it is also red brick modernist and I went to one of the secret cinema halls there it's absolutely extraordinary inside someone will tell us what it's not hollow at home or want to is this one of the town who is out there really fantastic Polevoy it's I didn't know anything about that building going it can you get access to it to the public. Semi open to the public and the vents. Academy always doing key dances and things that will let you in there and it really is worth a visit fantastic what with so good music wine from Brixton says Neil Young recorded several Kestrel pieces with the London for the monic for the after the Gold Rush album at Barking town hall within one in $72000000.00 in Barking town hall not in $72.00 What is the world coming to. What is already loving this. This is the wild scheme in Ricky. Holmes the town away that's the. Days of food schoolies shouldn't. away just for a moment because we're going to hear about voice over Finsbury Park this is an exhibition which has been violent at the Museum of London and it captures the voices and more of the people of that particular part of London I'm one of those people who's man hopped who's a founding partner of I'm brilliant one of the organizations behind voiceover France Republic is here with us now is my Morcombe to the shock Hello thanks for having me here so 1st of all what was the the the reason for sort of collating and collecting all this stuff well so the project is basically about it's a kind of a hyper local social radio project if you like everyone who's part of the project gets a little radio through which they can listen into the conversation but more importantly they can actually talk back into their radio and everyone else that concerns that kind of citizens band radio will you could say that but it's only for the people who have the box this is not about making sort of a big public broadcast it's for a bunch of people who don't necessarily know each other to listen to each other and to sort of have a conversation and so that was the starting point of the project we 1st did it up and he star and in in north of how many people were involved in the project Well there are. All the people in the building the tower block where we worked and then there are several organizations actually you know to the program where is the block where was that it was right on the edge of Finn's ri park actually looking over the park itself so from some sides of the building you could see all of North London and other signs of course you could see more southwards So what kind of people who live in the area for those who don't know France report Well give us a kind of a look at the demographics and what I think you know what was amazing was what came out in all these voices was so many different accents you know I think that's what Finns repack is about it's almost like a microcosm when we talk about longer being diverse but physical is really tough it really is yeah I mean it's absolutely fantastic and for me that actually is what London's about it's all the different sort of sounds and stories and people's perspectives and and the and the sound of their voice you know actually the sound of different people's voices and what do we hear those voices talking about well in this case we were we were hearing people talk about their idea of the future for London that their perspective on what might their relationship be to the city and what might actually happen to the city itself and in many cases it wasn't necessarily people who were actually born here but who actively kind of come here to be part of this amazing city. If you go into the exhibition the Museum of London and what you actually see in here well the project was really for the residents so what you see in the exhibit in is effectively the documentation of that it was there it's the it's the kind of the the reminiscences the stories the you know I think it's been edited for it's been edited down but the thing was that this was a month long conversation and on a weekly basis there would be a kind of a broadcast that would cure rate that week's conversations if you like and so when you go to the exhibition you actually see a condensed version of that month long conversation and what do you see. So when you get a box you also get a kind of a v. a Light that goes into your window it's a bit like a bat signal saying that you are part of the conversation so in the exhibition actually you see the different radio boxes you see these V's that kind of light up as the voices are coming out and it's you actually see the kind of ripples in the network if you like as a conversation spreads did have an lasting effect on the people involved after the actual month do you think they kind of continued talking to each other well definitely people who didn't know each other before now knew each other people who only heard each other through the walls or smelled each other's cooking previously suddenly were able to actually sort of wait a 2nd we've we've actually been talking you know just you know bumping into somebody in the hole and sort of saying I think I do know you actually so yeah I mean I don't want to overstate the effect it had but I think that because this was about basically connecting people who who don't necessarily know each other but who have some kind of shared interest in this case because there isn't even the same place that's right and it is as we said earlier on about that part of London it's it's diverse in all sorts of ways isn't it this very wealthy areas nearby there's some very good systems over areas of quite poverty in that bit of the world is all of that reflected do yes sort of actually at the beginning of the kind of thinking about this project in Finsbury Park we were working with an organisation called further field and Ruth who heads up for the field and I were talking about this and it came you know in the wake of the Grenfell tragedy we were thinking about the tower block it also came in the face of you know the disaster at the stock market and all these kind of conversations not just about the relationship of people in the neighborhood to the rest of London but actually even within the neighborhood the different kind of the communities that all gather in and around the area so yes I think it's kind of it reflects if you like the very complex conversations that we're having with each other about and then so I guess but also kind of highlights the conversations that we're not having. You. Yes you're right exactly right and actually I like to say the voice over More than anything is about listening even more than speaking and just hearing other people's thoughts you get to do it again yeah we're actually planning to do in Brighton as part of festival later in the year so really looking forward to that but if people want to see and hear they go along to the Museum of London up until April was my hot thank you very very much you're listening to the wrong show here on b.b.c. Radio love them. To get about Finsbury Park Phil says I think the Andover estate is on the current side of the Campbell bank the worst street in London. I don't know the end of the state where is that infringement part from going on 7 Sisters Road towards friends report from Camden Town where is that the Andover state if you know that part of the world tell me where is he if you want to read a book about London. It's a term refit book it is called Campbell bank the worst street in London and it's about one little street which is gone it's been completely eradicate and it was in Finsbury Park and I think we were talking in the 19th thirty's I'm not it's a long while since I read the book. And it basically just talks about what life was like in this one street might have been light and that my been as late as the fifty's but it's certainly gone now. And it was it's a really really interesting book I might dig it out and give you a novel it read it was called the worst tree in London and Phil said he thinks the and every state is on the current side of the Campbell bank so if you live in the end of a state you lived where the worst street in London was the worst in London was in inverted commas it wasn't a common or slap on the people who lived there for a moment she said that was how it was regularly described anyway that's where we are what I'm going to do now is I'm going to buy a Dusty Springfield track that's not unusual I often play a Dusty Springfield track because she's one of our finest ever singers but didn't know she done this song You see you can know everything in life as much as I did. I'm one of you pointed this out to me yesterday you yes sent me an e-mail us and you just listen to old text or tweet or something it's fantastic I don't know if it's a cover to cover because the original is such a masterpiece but this is very good and I had no idea that Dusty had ever sung this so thank you for pointing out this is Dusty Springfield with Van Morrison's Tupelo honey. a song. I want to play them by next to each other because Van is Van you say but that's she's dusty right and Campbell bunk the reason I'm talking about this is because we were just talking about friends Republican the voices of Finsbury Park and I remember that there was a brilliant book by Jerry what the author and he came on the show when it came out must have been 10 to 15 years ago I would think the book is cold Campbell bunk the worst street in North London between the was so it was literally drop into the thirty's. From the 80900 to the 2nd mobile Campbell Campbell Road Finsbury Park known to all as Campbell bunk I'm reading this out. Had a notorious reputation for violence for breeding thieves and prostitutes and for an enthusiastic disregard for Lauren order it was the object of reform by church magistrates local Thor isn't social scientists etc etc But where is it now what's there someone suggest it was the end of every state is there now but John in his Linton I think is going to just about right he says the street in France report you were talking about Campbell bank has been replaced by the 6 acres is state which is next to the end of it lies next to Fonthill road says John in his Linton So if you're going up 7 Sisters Road towards Finsbury Park itself it's on the left hand side and I think it's just beyond where the rainbow is on the other side of the road as people are describing it to me it's the 6 acres estate lies next to from hill road so that seems to be where Campbell bank was. Thank you pate he says I love your show it's always a fascinating 3 hours of radio but this is almost made my year Yep probably not as good as van but the great lady singing one of my favorite songs thank you p.s. And now new lyrics Yeah well apparently I looked this up apparently there was a verse of the song which very Marson and written but never included on his version and she did and he would have a like that fat so the lyrics we were hearing and the extra verse was originally written by van but he never sung it on the on the recorded version whereas dusty reinstate those lyrics maybe it maybe does maybe is worth a cover to cover next event I don't know there's also a great version by. Female just sing a combo night in a minute. I'll get to it she does a great version as well. I'll look it up we might have winds that we might have Thursdays cover to cover so it but I'll say let's find out it's just approaching 11 o'clock it's time for the news headlines Mexico Hutchinson is here so we shall be talking architecture but now it's just approaching 11 which means it's time for the news headlines and the travel from memory will.
