145

Our discovery of 145 is a pretty amazing story, Cassie and Ellen, found the building and worked hard to find out who it belonged to, it had just been sold at auction, and so proved difficult, meanwhile Cassie was volunteering with Unseen UK, a charity to prevent human trafficking. She discussed her business plan with one of the other volunteer, who mentioned that his dad had just bought an old launderette, and the three flats above it. Quite amazingly it was the same business, and Cassie's colleague was able to put in touch with his father, Malcolm, who agreed to rent the shop to us. He is now employing builders to return the shop from it's desolate state, making it structurally sound and watertight. The building itself was a launderette, but has been out of use for 10 years, and is in a pretty dilapidated state.

The front of @TheWell with space for outside seating, and bikes, all these spaces need a little TLC.

Some sort of Cupboard

Our long Hallway, to onside of the space, will encompass, storage and a kitchenette.

The space itself, it is bigger than it looks.

This space behind the 'shop' will become the folding room, with the two large machines and driers, will also have toilets.

The toilet as was, this will remain, after some serious work

This was the entrance to the back of the space, it has now been opened up considerably, and when the shop is secure will become mostly unused as the front of the shop can be opened up to both staff and customers.

Our building is 145 Gloucester road (right opposite where the riots in Stokes Croft were against Tesco). stokes croft is a great up and coming alternative area of bristol, with a great sense of community, something we are definitely promoting ourselves.
