List Brady's -- please sign the pledge

IntoStella · Oct 17, 2005

I have finally got around to making, as promised, a pledge at pledgebank.com to get off the ground the campaign to list Brady's clocktower and bring the building back into community use.

It's at:

www.pledgebank.com/bradys

Please sign up for the sake of this beautiful, much loved and much-neglected Brixton landmark. You don't have to be a local resident.

Any idea where the history buff/photographer are going to come from?

If you can make use of mybrixton.org wiki for drafing the application go for it.

i've posted this on the HDIF messageboard too. might help get a few more signatures.

wouldn't the editor qualify as a local photographer? and historian for that matter - he certainly does a local of historical work on the main u75 site.

This is what is needed/recomended:

From BuildingConservation.com

A proposal for listing should be supported by a location map, a brief description of the building with the building date (if known) and any other historical or architectural information which makes the building special. The written material should be supplemented by photographs of the building, both external elevations and internal details if possible. Good clear photographs help enormously because they form the basis of the initial sift. If the inspector decides that the building is worth a site visit it will help him or her to have a name and telephone number to contact for access.

Not until you click on that emailed link you haven't.

maomao · Oct 17, 2005

I signed it cause it sounds worthy but I've no idea what we're actually saving. Any chance of a pic?

Donna Ferentes · Oct 17, 2005

Incidentally, have we previously discussed the clock above McDonald's and whether it's ever likely to work?

Have I screwed up?

Well, there's fourteen people have signed up and I'm not sure any of them are you.

Probably not - try checking your junk mail, pledgebank mails endup getting caught by spam filters sometimes.

Charing Cross is technically the centre of London so is sometimes used to mean 'London' by adress thingies that work on a radius from a single point.

Mr Retro · Oct 18, 2005

17 people so quickly!

Good going IS

OK, now sorted and my name appears. Should be 18 now. I don't have easy/instant access to my work email on my home PC, and was only able to confirm my signature this morning

Was only sure of the procedure once I saw that Pledgebank email this morning, I did what it asked

gabi · Oct 18, 2005

Got mixed feelings about this. I know the caretaker of the place pretty well, and as its his only source of income (AFAIK) he'd be a bit screwed if it came back into operation.

I would love to see it back as a working pub/venue though, it's still got the basic structure (bar etc) in place inside. Just be very sad to see the old boy destitute. That's might be a selfish reason not to sign it, but there you go.

fanta · Oct 18, 2005

Done. Is there a prize or summat?

IntoStella · Oct 18, 2005

You beauties

The pledge is already successful but please keep signing as it's an effective way of showing the extent of public support for preserving the clocktower and bringing the building back into community use.

Many, many thanks to everyone who has signed so far.

IntoStella · Oct 18, 2005

I thought you could mail signatories through the pledgebank site but if you can, I can't work out how to do it. :oops:

Memespring? Help! :oops:

Alas, I am on one of Steve Jobs's computers for dimwitted media muppets and am having compatibility probs. :oops:

I'll try it on a pc at lunchtime.
