What an amazing young man, if only more people were like him how much better the world would be. Good luck and carry on with your informative and very interesting videos.

Thank you for the interesting video. I have been in the building, and may be, at 61 the youngest person alive to have done so. I was carried into what I assume was the reception area by my parents, and I can remember seeing a bluey green picture on one of the walls. . This was probably one of the murels painted by the squatters. Unfortunately I can't remember what the picture was of, only the colour.

Good video. I also recall close to Chatsworth Lodge, on Park Road there were two buildings that were former nursing homes. At some points in the late 1980's (possibly early 1990's), they we closed as nursing homes and purchased by a Mrs Reville, then turned into bedsits. As I remember they were the worst bedsits imaginable. Just wondering if anyone else remembers them?

[@Leock]

Thank you and that’s interesting, places I’ve not been made aware of before.

[@Ginger_Dalek]

@@Leock To the best of my memory, I thinks the bedsits were 137 & 141 Park Road.

I've always wondered what those gate posts could have originally been entrance to, thank you!
