Fortress Wapping
The 1980's London printing plant of News International where the might of the sleazy Rupert Murdoch empire met the Luddite print unions head-on. It was the success of this plant using new technology and the defeat of the unions following a bitter strike that enabled the mass exodus of newspapers from Fleet Street.
Now the controversial Wapping plant has closed and the site will be used for housing. Being so close to the City I very much doubt if any accommodation will be 'affordable'.
Don't know where News International titles are printed now. Hell perhaps?
