”Weirdly, the building was fully lit up for the first time I have ever seen on the night before the demo people and their machinery rolled in. I guess it was for security reasons but it was the memory of how the Foundry looked at its best that got me involved in the Save the Foundry campaign. How could anyone destroy that possibility??” — a supporter
