From Harlesden People's Community Council
Join the Harlesden People’s Community Council for the national launch of their campaign to get Bridge Park added to the National Heritage List for England.
HPCC's transformation of Stonebridge Bus Garage into Europe’s largest Black-led community enterprise is an extraordinary story of community action and resilience.
The trailblazing initiative saw an underserved community harness local craftsmanship and creativity to transform an old industrial building into a pioneering centre for Black excellence and self-empowerment.
This exciting event will bring together founding members of the Harlesden People's Community Council, along with experts from UCL's Bartlett School of Architecture and Sarah Parker Remond Centre, to discuss the significance of Bridge Park, its role in expanding the way we think about heritage, and the current threat of demolition by Brent Council.
You’ll also hear from celebrated actor and Bridge Park alumnus Ray Fearon, who will reflect on how the centre helped shape his career.
Event Details:
- Date: Thursday, 23rd January 2025
- Time: 6:00 – 8:00 PM
