Historic Pin Factory Reborn as Community Hub
9 Jan
Summary
- A 280-year-old pin factory annexe is being renovated.
- The refurbishment costs £142,000 and includes window restoration.
- The space will host craft workshops and potentially a bar for events.
Work has commenced on the transformation of Gloucester's historic Folk Pin Factory annexe into a dynamic community space. Constructed over 280 years ago, the annexe, located behind the Folk of Gloucester building, is the subject of a substantial £142,000 refurbishment project.
This extensive renovation will address critical structural issues, including the restoration of the annexe's deteriorating windows and its western wall. Upon completion, the space is slated to function as a versatile community hub.
Plans include hosting craft workshops and potentially featuring a bar to support music and theatre events. The vision is to create an interactive and educational environment on the ground floor, with the upper level serving as a dedicated community gathering area.
