I have signed this petition because we can leave nothing to chance when it comes to standing for our beliefs and passions, whether it be a cause, an individual or a building. This beautiful 1930's building has graced Hornchurch High Street for eighty odd years and it doesn't have a voice it's a building so we have petitions like this. This example of 1930's Architecture is slowly disappearing from our towns and cities and if we don't make a stand what will our children or grandchildren have that will link them to the past, architecturally speaking. Surely this building deserves rescuing from speculative developers who would build something in it's place only for that to be demolished in 20 years maybe less because it will have no architectural value unlike the existing beautiful building. This building was designed by the well known Architects of the time Kemp and Tasker who have already been acknowledged for their work. They have 3 Grade 11 buildings listed to their name.
