  1. The Victorian Society (VS) is brill. Interestingly Eric Pickles threw out proposals to redevelop much of Smithfield Market in London. The VS was at the forefront of that campaign, which was expensive for them.

    They're now seeking donations to help them carry on their vital work helping to preserve the glories of Victorian.
