Developing Social Centre — Sheffield

Any­body want to help devel­op a social cen­tre ..

45 Marl­bor­ough Road, Broomhill S10

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.


»>Amaz­ing!

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.
