Visit to this remarkable, purpose-built youth club building, part of The Chinbrook Estate (LCC, 1960s).
About this Event

Join us for a visit with Rob Clayton, chair of Grove Park Youth Club Building Preservation Trust, which manages a remarkable, purpose-built youth club building, first constructed in the 1960s as part of the Chinbrook Estate development.

We will learn about the building - modest architecturally but important in its recent history. A local initiative managed to secure the building and reopen it, in the midst of the current climate around the eradication of public and social infrastructure.

Set in the Chinbrook Estate (LCC, 1965) we will then be able to explore the estate - another classic mid century Modern piece of city.

Suggested Transport: SL4 bus plus 10 min walk.

The visit is for Blackheath Society Members only. You are welcome to become a member. Please visit our website www.blackheath.org
