As an ex employee of Tunnel/Amylum another reason for the decision I believe I found this morning is the newly started 32000m3 alcohol plant in Aalst Belgium.The Greenwich distillery I believe was the "jewel in the crown" in recent years and now another larger plant in the group rings the death bell.Isoglucose quotas may also play a role!

Good luck Phantom.

Won't Morden College need some income from the site to keep the decayed Turkey merchants in bread and water?

"Workers used to swim in the ice-pops mix"? How random is that??

I can't imagine it was ever a flower strewn meadow - historically the riverside part of the site was 'Great Pits' and inland was 'Lady Marsh'. Eventually it was let out to a soap works 'Wilkie and Soames' where they made British Carbolic Soap and other products for tackling REAL dirt and who cares how tough it was on your hands! Wilkie didn't exist and Soames were a local family of churchmen. Do you want me to go on??? someone might write in and tell you about when it was Tunnel Glucose and workers used to swim in the ice-pops mix.

But marshes would make a very good wildlife sanctuary - and with boardwalks over the marshes, people could enjoy the birds and animals that will soon colonise a new wetland area.

Referring back to a previous post - 'Oh what a whopper'. (http://www.skyscrapernews.com/news.php?ref=1664)
Am I being naive or is the building to the right of the picture on the site we are talking about? Or is it just developer bravado?
Maybe we should start a campaign now for a 'Park Land' area and try to get our 'Meadow' back? Mind you I seem to remember that the area was in fact Marshes and therefore not very pleasant for afternoon strolling........
