Cool Tan Dole House late summer 1995

Housed in the old Brixton dole office Cool Tan Arts (who took their name from their first squatted venue up on Effra Road) did a great job of running this inclusive community squat come venue from late 1992 until their eviction around late September 1995. This involved a lot moire than just great parties, regular cafe nights were on and a lot of militant/activist stuff too.

You can read more on its history on Urban 75

Here's 3 flyers that have come my way from the final parties.

Saint Agnes Place

St Agnes place was a (partially) squatted street in Kennington SE11 from 1971ish until November 30th 2005.

In that time it housed and provided refuge for 100s of people from various walks of life.

It had 2 yards where travellers could come and park and was also home to a Rasta community (see third image).

It has now been replaced by wastelands of rubble surrounded by metal grills.

Reclaim The Future 2 - 01/02/2003

A massive war-protest-fundraiser cum party undertaking.
This took place in an ex tv showroom which IIRC was the planned site for an ASDA supermarket.
A lot of interesting exhibits were there on site and a hell of a lot of acts played.
