Michael is absolutely right - Janus Korczak was obviously an extraordinary person who should be celebrated both via an English Heritage blue plaque and by the preservation and celebration of Louise House. If there is a successful application for a blue plaque then it will become the second one recently erected in the area - last September Eleanor Marx's house in Jew's Walk was celebrated in this way. There is no doubt that both English Heritage and the National Trust have to grapple with all sorts of historical issues that today cause controversy - for example, many great mansions (eg Harewood House in Yorkshire) were owned by families whose wealth partly derived from the slave trade or industry (most of the owners of great houses in the north of England would have been coalowners or steel magnates, for example). However, if we are to sweep all this away our culture and history would be totally impoverished. To return to the site on Dartmouth Rd - Allies & Morrison, and other architects, have demonstrated that a leisure centre which contains two pools and a gym etc can be accommodated there. Echoing its historical role, Louise House could become an arts & educational centre, and issues to do with access for those with disabilites could be resolved by sensitive conservation architects. Building a new leisure centre in the back street of Willow Way will do nothing for footfall in Dartmouth Road and will lead to the further decline of both Dartmouth Road and Forest Hill town centre. The current site will be neglected until there is an upturn in the housing market, and at some point in the distant future an intense housing development may be built - adding to the glut that already exists in Forest Hill.
