Inside used to be cut glass mirrors, polished brass fittings, rich woodwork; I doubt that is needed in cubicles and shared kitchenettes. I wonder how long the nymphs outside will last? The Barking Muslim Community Centre now occupies the row of what used to be local shops opposite and I don’t know what they make of their pulchritude. I hope they are protected.
