In Memory of

PETER BLANCE

"Mr Ambassador"

1928 - 2012

 

This site is dedicated to honouring the tireless work of those who fought to save the Ambassador, despite facing overwhelming odds. These included the influence of big business, an apathetic council, the indifference of the local MP, and the unbelievable role played by English Heritage, whose actions contributed to the delisting and ultimate loss of this beautiful building.
