“From Flax to Freelance : the history of 36 Lime Street”

Today 36 Lime Street is a collective of over 40 workshops, occupied by freelance artists and other creative practitioners. The building dates from the 1840s and in its 165 year history has witnessed some of the Ouseburn’s greatest events and changes.

Join Ouseburn expert Mike Greatbatch on a tour of the building, external and internal, and learn something of its fascinating history.

 Saturday at 8pm. The tour is for around 25 people and those interested will meet in the Gallery.
