2 bits of lovely banter on “palms outside palmers”

    What a great picture. Fascinating history behind the closure of Huntley and Palmers. It would probably be empty today if local people hadn’t taken action. They occupied and tried to turn Huntleys, South Street and the Rising Sun into Arts Centres by moving in during the 80s and 90s. The Council gave them the Rising Sun and South Street but turned Huntley and Palmers into flats.

    Rising Sun and South Street Arts Centres are wonderful venues – buildings and atmosphere. Well done local people for saving all 3 buildings.
