Abstract
Draws on the sudden collapse of two listed buildings in Westminster, London in 1990, to conclude that old buildings, built on a cellular basis, are at risk of instability from any change. Lists seven general precautions developers should take when dealing with historic, cellular‐constructed buildings.
