Description

Interview with Lord Lewin of Greenwich (Terence Lewin) following the threat to the future of the Royal Naval College building at Greenwich after the announcement of its closure. The most likely option would see the 300 year old college sold to its near-neighbour the National Maritime Museum but Lord Lewin would like to see a preservation trust established. Male interviewer not identified.
