9:01Now Playing“A whole world of human personality still remains in the building.”
This Nationwide report finds comedian Spike Milligan in a sombre mood, as he details the Council's failure to maintain St Albans in Hampton, a beautiful old historic building that was bequeathed to the Borough of Twickenham just nine years ago. He surveys what remains of the grand old house, and expresses his anger and sorrow at the way we treat our architectural heritage.
St Albans was demolished in 1972.
Originally broadcast 8 October, 1970.
