Bunhill: Asset strip
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

They include a fine John Piper, estimated at pounds 8,000 to pounds 12,000. The seller is none other than ICI. Until recently the paintings adorned the walls of Crimple House, the old ICI fibres headquarters at Harrogate and source of the brand name Crimplene. The building is empty, destined to become a hospice. 'Nowadays, all these things are regarded as assets,' said a sad Crimple caretaker about the pictures. 'Want to buy a building?'
