statement “We have attempted to work with Leeds City Council over the last 8 years to put together a long-term plan for the site, benefiting both the council with income, and the local community with workspace, community centre, heritage building skills training and grow space
We are unable to comment on the accuracy of this statement, but it is beginning to look rather likely, especially now given the support to community and heritage by @LEEDS_2023 , when the oldest building in the city is being ignored.”
“We would like to remind the council of the agreement put in place in 2018 with ourselves & Angela Gabriel in those regular minuted meetings, that should this sale fall through it would be handed over to ourselves and the community to regenerate and restore @eveyroo @ArchHFund
we've been very quiet of late as we've been kept off site & contact with LCC ignored. We are grateful to @SouthLeedsLife for giving us a chance to comment on the recent demolition of New Hall @HistoricEngland @AngelaBarnicle @LEEDS_2023 @Feed_Leeds @_judithblake @groves_kim
Leeds City Council have demolished 400 year old New Hall one of three listed buildings on the historic Stank Hall Barn site in #Beeston

don't forget folks if you are driving to see us today, park at the white rose centre & walk across, as there is no parking at the site. Don't follow your sat nav as we don't have a postcode, here's the instructions for how to find us tiny.cc/4fo4cz #heritageopenday #hod
very excited to be working with the @LandmarkTrust on this project doing partner work and research with our site :-) pop along this weekend to hear their plans
The rather wonderful Calverley Old Hall (a @LandmarkTrust property) is open to visitors this coming weekend. Well worth popping in to have a look round and hear about plans for the future of the site. landmarktrust.org.uk/news-an…

thanks for the mention, we weren't built by the timbers from Columbus' ships though, he wasn't born then ;-) great legend though
this is pretty special & in the heart of #leeds, could this be the oldest dwelling in the city centre ? fingers crossed the landlords make a decision soon for them to have it for community & not some corporation where it would be lost again @LeedsCivicTrust @ClunyM @AlGarthwaite
Apologies to anyone who visited us today for Heritage Open Day
Unfortunately due to lack of volunteers we were only able to open one day this year, the heritage open weekend being over 2 weekends has... facebook.com/FriendsOfStankH…
