Who chooses the names?

 Why do developers overide the community when it comes to names for their developments?

Inland Homes, who bought the Homebase site, refused to listen to the residents' ideas for a name for the new development. Inland Homes decided on PATCHWORKS ignoring residents requests to link it to its industrial heritage (Hawker Syddeley transformer factory) or farming history.




Poll Tax House/ Juniper House/ Skyline E17,  Hoe Street E17 - where did SKYLINE E17 come from? This site changes its name depending on who is trying to market it!


























































The Mall, Walthamstow Town Centre now called 17&CENTRAL so what will the 34 and 27 storey tower blocks be called being built by LONG HARBOUR ?



































MAGISTRATES COURT to MAGISTRATES to HEPWORTH PLACE 
BESIDE FELLOWSHIP SQUARE - the Town Hall site in Forest Road!!

  1. I think the names are a new sort art form thats reflects the rash of new architecture spreading across the borough . Nothing to be proud of but sign of the Times.
