We've been fixing up an old 20 room house in Broomhill.
We've housed destitute stateless, had plumbing workshops, Bike workshops some art works are appearing and Its been used as a film set for independent film.
There is heating and lighting .. but NO electricity.
We have a well stocked kitchen with the alternative supermarkets out the back of Somerfield and Sainsburies easily accessible.

There is a great room downstairs with an arched window that would make a wonderful acoustic gig space.

Internet access is available whilst batteries stay charged.

If you have any meetings or social events that would benefit by being held in a free non commercial autonomous space come around and make use of the space. This would help us also maintain and defend the space.

See you soon.

If I have done my homework right, this house was used as a meeting room and campaigning centre by local suffragettes at the turn of last century.
Adela Pankhurst - the youngest Pankhurst daughter - lived here 1910-1912.
We must continue the radical tradition of this beautiful house.
