Kingswood Arts gets £25k

Post by stuart »

The castle on a council estate aka 'Bovril' Castle

Kingswood Arts has been awarded £25,000 to work with local people over 12 months to create a permanent exhibition exploring the working-class history of Kingswood House from 1811 to the present day.

Nearby residents will record their experiences at the Grade II listed Victorian 'castle' in the middle of a council estate near Sydenham Hill station.

The initiative aims to trace working-class life through its time as a private house to a wartime hospital, and later as a library and community centre.
