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.

It good to know people are helping the poor and needy of sheffield, impressive to know it was once the haunt of Adela Pankhurst.

I think refugees need homes and creative things to do with there time, not constructing there own gender.

Food Not Bombs is trying to resurrect itself and we might be interested in using this space to meet and cook?

Hi
My name's Jess, I'm 19 and I'll be starting uni at Sheffield in September studying speech therapy. Me and my long-term boyfriend are looking for somewhere to live, we both love living in a community and I've worked in community centres all my life. If you could send us info about squatting in Sheffield we'd be so so grateful.
Thanks a lot!
