Pisgah House v Northumberland rd

@Need To Know, thanks for the info, I disagree with the current location being a better choice however. Pisgah House was the perfect site in many different respects and in its short tenure the social centre turned around the attitudes of some of its neighbours (business & residential) regarding squats and squatting, this is not wishful speculation. Northumberland Road is a useful stopgap, but a purely functional building and I suspect that there won't be as many tears shed over its eventual eviction.
