HISTORY:
I'm going to keep this short due to little history existing online about this place.
Fiske court is a towerblock that is 9 storeys tall and its committee approval date was in 1963, I cant find the build date online but there is an old photograph of fiske court in 1988. It occupied 32 rooms. Next to fiske court is a firestation that has used fiske court for fire drills and practice operations. The purpose of these drills is to try and learn lessons from the grenfell tragerdy and to practice the LFB tactics for keeping residents safe in high-rise buildings. It has since served as a training facility for 9 months and will be until it is eventually demolished. Under is an image of fiske court being used as a training event
(just realised the colour has changed, sadly cannot find any history about that
)
THE VISIT:
I've seen this place online alot recently and decided to take a trip to barking to check it out. We decided to check it out and it was easy enough to gain access.
This was the view from the bottom, before we entered
It had a lovely view of london on the rooftop. Was 100% worth the 9 storey and the dodgy ladder climb
Nice view of the main roads from the 3rd floor
Marvel toilet
Most rooms were close to empty with very little remaning, the most of all we could find were toileets or half brokeen bath tubs. Most doors were all open to each of the rooms on all floors.
Some floors were also had broken stuff in the corridors, I have no idea what this red and black stuff is but it was sad it was vandalised
Sorry for the low quality photos! I am looking to get either a better camera or for me to just learn how to take pictures in general 🤣
Thank you for reading!!
