This photograph dates from 2016 when the former College East at Toynbee Hall was vandalised for a second time (the first time was in 1971) leaving a facade which has a new development behind it. Who can look at photographs like this without wanting to weep? Why, if we must build new buildings, can’t they be as well designed as those built by our ancestors? Well, clearly they can’t.
