Stockwell School Squat - around 1990

[Neil-NewX]

I went to a few big parties in around 1990 (I think) in a squatted school in Stockwell. I can't remember much else about them, including where exactly they were. Anybody else remember more?!

I remember the school when it was squatted. It was by Larkhall Park & the Go Kart Track. There were regular parties there most weekends. It was mainly travelers living there.

Good parties, if I recall. Long time ago now...

 

[boohoo]

Then it might be Priory Grove school? now posh flats

 

[gregk]

That was the one . When did it "develop" into flats?

The redevelopment started shortly after the eviction, I used to live in the main building until shortly after the last party got busted and we lost electricity.
Some great parties there, winter of 1991/2.
Rave on the ground floor
Bands on the first floor
fairshare reggae sound system on the top floor

I'll scan the flyers I have left from that and link to them later.

 

[Neil-NewX]

Thanks all, look forward to seeing the flyers.

I was an organizer and head of security at the priory grove parties, they were a right laugh. we used to park up in the netball court. I've got a few photos from back then, how do you post pictures on here?

You won't be able to post them here.

upload them to flickr/photobucket/whateveryouprefer and then link to them here.

We probably know each other, I was living in the main building for a while till the lecky got cut off.

Just use attachments in order to post photos.

I'll go comment when I'm not hangover about to go off to work, and I'll scan the one flyer from those days i found.

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

Went and scanned it:

I one other which I'm pretty sure was at the school too but it needs a bit of cropping, I'll be uploading all the old flyers I found which is a lot less than I thought, then I'll probably ask friends if they have some floating around.
