In case you missed it... a very interesting piece in yesterday's Telegraph about some slightly depressing opportunities to bag historical and architectural treasures the councils can't afford to keep at bargain basement prices. Examples? The Old St Giles Hospital in Camberwell, about to go under the hammer. Another former hospital - admittedly in North Wales - recently sold for £275,000. It came with seven and a half acres of grounds. Back in south London, Southwark Council sold a split-level three-bedroom flat in east Dulwich for £240,000. Read the original piece here.
