  • Press Release 18 Oct 2012 Help Us Save Smithfield
    PRESS RELEASE 18TH OCT 2012 HELP US SAVE SMITHFIELD GENERAL MARKET FROM DESTRUCTION! Tomorrow Henderson Global Investors will unveil their new plans for Smithfield General Market, part of what SAVE President Marcus Binney describes as ‘the finest parade of market buildings in Europe’. The latest plans for the redevelopment of the Smithfield General Market built by Horace Jones in 1879-1883, architect of Billingsgate Market and Tower Bridge yet again propose large-scale demolition, with just a nod towards conservation. SAVE has repeatedly shown with campaigns that have successfully championed Covent Garden and Billingsgate Market, that London’s great market buildings are vital to the city. The rendered image of the remodelled interior by McAslan is beguiling but plays fast and loose with the building’s historic glass roofed market halls, which, if restored and re-glazed, would be as handsome as those in the main meat market or old Billingsgate Market, or the acclaimed former vegetable markets in Covent Garden. Instead they are to be removed in their entirety leaving only a skin of perimeter buildings one room deep. On the attached flier, Henderson Investors claim their project “is still at a very early stage”. Clem Cecil, Director of SAVE says, “our concern is that these proposals will be the basis of a planning application in the very near future. The scheme being exhibited is not acceptable and we call on all those who love and have fought for Smithfield Market to visit this briefest of public exhibitions and if they share our concerns to express them strongly.” “We hope that English Heritage, a key witness in the Public Inquiry of 2008, will push for maximum conservation and the retention of the roofs, so important to the entire market ensemble and the Smithfield Conservation Area.” SAVE is working on an alternative, truly conservation-led scheme for the site for presentation in November.

  • Speech by Mark Carney at the International
    Building the Infrastructure to Realise FinTech’s Promise Speech given by Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England International FinTech Conference 2017, Old Billingsgate 12 April 2017 I am grateful to Nicola Anderson, Sharmista Appaya, Alice Carr, Helen George, Andrew Hauser, Rosey Jeffrey, Varun Paul, Gregory Stevens and Iain de Weymarn for their assistance in preparing these remarks. 1 All speeches are available online at www.bankofengland.co.uk/speeches Introduction It’s a pleasure to be in this historic setting at the heart of the world’s leading international financial centre and its global hub for FinTech.1 Such leadership reflects the UK’s inherent strengths: its people, law, language and time zone. And it is testament to the City’s fundamental belief in markets and innovation. Over the centuries, we have learned that markets and innovation thrive with the right hard and soft infrastructure: hard infrastructure ranging from transport links to broadband and payments architecture; and soft infrastructure from the rule of law to market practices, codes of conduct, and regulatory frameworks. --------------------------- When Horace Jones was re-imagining Old Billingsgate Market, Britain was in the throes of its Second Industrial Revolution – a time of mass innovation that changed the way people lived, worked and interacted. Throughout the nineteenth century technological advances – including steam, electricity, and the telegraph – fostered new industries and made possible an unprecedented openness to trade, people, and ideas. London’s financiers, book keepers and lawyers provided the capital, infrastructure and know-how to support these trends, cementing the City’s status as the leading international financial centre.
