Building at heart of Bristol social movements secures £4.7m renovation grant
The Guardian
|January 14, 2025
A 319-year-old Grade II*-listed building in Bristol that was the headquarters of a precursor to the Labour party has been awarded £4.7m for a renovation.
Kingsley Hall is deeply woven into Bristol's history and various social movements. A Conservative club in the late 1800s, it later became the headquarters of the Independent Labour party and was opened by the party founder, Keir Hardie, in 1911.
Built in 1706, it has hosted meetings of the suffragettes and debates about workers' pay and conditions, migration, housing, gentrification and the two world wars.
Today it is used by a youth homelessness charity, 1625 Independent People, which will benefit from the £4.7m grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to renovate the space for disadvantaged young people.
