There are a few fixtures that should be kept, and can be kept, design curious visitors and historians will be interested, and there maybe something the Twentieth Century Society have to say. If nothing is granted any salvageable value then it will be sold like old rope. 

Corbusier’s buildings in Chandigar needed to buy back furniture to reinstate the originals, because nothing was left of the era, and at great cost. Corbu once said “Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies," but photogrphic record in situ, would be a nice touch as s legacy.

Peoples Assemblies remember those? Systematically got ot rid of under the current administration. The same caring folk who recruited the Daisy Cutter from Barnet, to shed council services, because of his record there.
