About the event
Come discover the hidden history of 627 Dumbarton Road, now home to our little charity.
Over the past few months, our History Unlocked group has worked with Clydesiders to research the building’s 100+ year history, finding fascinating stories from the past and its links to local activism. Discover the mysterious rooms at the back of the building, its role in the local rent strikes and life as the Independent Resource Centre.
Come along, get a wander round and share your stories of the building and the area.
The building is accessible for wheelchair users. On street parking is available nearby including blue badge spaces. Refreshments will be provided.
