Woodford Green Memorial saved – Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Committee
An attempt to demolish a row of historic art deco houses and replace them with a block of flats has been rejected – for the second time.
Neighbours have praised Redbridge Council for throwing out an application to build 14 flats on the site in the High Road where five family homes currently stand on the site of suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst’s former cottage.
Opponents feared the scheme would have put at risk the historic Grade II listed ‘Stone Bomb’ anti-air war memorial – which was erected by Pankhurst during the 1930s.
