Whilst this might be a considered to be aimed at those in London it may also appeal to those who feel strongly about conservation and/or the disregard that developers can have on the preservation of our Heritage. It has been brought to our attention that the future of the Cinema Museum, Kennington, London, a non-funded, totally volunteer led enterprise housed in the work house, where Charlie Chaplin went as a child, is once again is in doubt. The building, having been included within re-development proposals by its new owners who have issued statements of re-assurance still fail to give total confirmation as to ‘security of tenure’ and safety with regard to the future. We, individually, have been asked to give our support to an on-line Petition to save the future of this wonderful Museum and Heritage. A number of us have enjoyed and appreciated the vast collection of memorabilia from the Golden Age of cinema that should be retained in such an historic and appropriate location.
