I was sure that figure was quoted at the BAF meeting about this time last year. But maybe that was a projected figure of funds still to be applied for.lang rabbie said:
I think that English Heritage gave Lambeth an earlier grant to make the Raleigh Hall building watertight, but that was a six figure sum at most.
Edited to add: AFAIK, BCA also got £344,000 from the HLF back in 1999 under their guise as "National Museum & Archives of Black History & Culture" for improved conservation/storage facilities for their collection.

I'll come... let us know nearer what time to be there!
I agree that we have to do something and will gladly get involved,i like alot of other people believe that bradys is a brixton institution and should be returned to being a community resource.IntoStella said:
i worked at bradys for it's last 6 years as a pub and have been involved every time it's been squated.
Excellent.linerider said:

I suspect the HLF have earmarked £5million for the BCA in Raleigh Hall scheme, subject to BCA putting together a plausible business plan. HLF (and other heritage bodies) are desperate to be seen to be doing something in London for black heritage in the run up to 2007 - bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade.
There is a danger that BCA's (IMHO desperately dull) proposals for their museum will be sexed up to claim to provide "community facilities", and you'd need to have a strong argument why HLF should support plans only a few hundred yards away.

Sorry, I'm chairing a meeting that evening.
I'm involved in too many other open space and community projects in the SW2/SW12/SW16 fringes already.
Happy to shout support from the sidelines. My suggestion (for what it is worth) is to try and get the pub - including the former music room - listed (if no one has tried this already)

Sadly, it seems the Hendrix Brady's rumours were somewhat exaggerated. There was a thread that mentioned this as well. Wasn't it rabbie or newbie perhaps who exploded that particular myth?citydreams said:
Hendrix may have gone to Brady's but he wasn't, AFAIK, a regular and apparently he never played there.

He definitely did play a Brady's, but not, as far as I know, the Railway Hotel, at least not as a full blown band gig.IntoStella said:

On a bit of break...
My Mum was at that gig, which I think was in the Ealing Blues Club. The building is still there....
Didn't somebody post up a flyer for that gig before? It had an address on it that was, IIRC, substantially different from 'our' Brady's.editor said:
Mrs Magpie said:
Now that's impressive. The best I can do is that my Dad was asked to take part in a police identity parade in 1960s Brixton. An old lady who had been mugged very nervously said she didn't want to point out the mugger due to fear of being hit. When she eventually did point out the mugger she confidently said she was sure it was my Dad. Needless to say he is (and was) a mild mannered accountant.

I'm afraid I can't make it either.
One odd thing. I was talking to an old Brixtonite - someone who really knows his stuff about this kind of thing - and he swore blind that the clock tower of Brady's was categorically, 100% listed.
In fact, he said that he was with the officials that listed it at because they were listing his property at the same time.
I know people have researched this and found nothing, but could it be that the listing has been lost?

maybe, but If memory serves me correct, when something is listed the records are placed in the Land Charges department, Legal, as well as Planning (but this mayb edifferent at different authorities. But saying that, the authority I worked for were pretty slack with their records. If someone had been researching the site (which obviously they have been) it would be quite possible to lose the records.
The best thing would be to try and find out a date of the listing and check local newspapers. Also find out which planning officers and councillors were responsible for listing it and see if any are still around. Best way would be to research the persons property you mentioned, which I think can be done for free at the council offices.
Although, there is always the possibility that the council 'lost' the records on purpose.
I will talk to an old colleague and find out if there is any other way to check if a building has been listed.
Once and for all, we went to the planning office last year and looked at the records. It is not listed, no matter what some bloke in a pub might think. There are a lot of, shall we say 'fantasists' around.editor said:
This always happens when anybody tries to organise anything in Brixton. A load of misinformation creeps in, hares get set running, everyone runs around like headless chickens and nothing whatsoever gets done.
If it's going to be just another talking shop I have other things to do.

I worked in Planning for ages, Ive seen worse go on. I wouldnt put anything past them. A planning officer gets a very low wage compared with other people with similar qualifications- sometimes they top up there wage doing things that are less than honest.IntoStella said:
