The underdog and very much the dark horse in this year's shortlist
for BBC's Restoration series 'the Big Brother of heritage TV' is the
humble CONCRETE CASTLE in Bridgwater, Somerset.
Built in 1851 in a Bridgwater back street, the Castle is the first
concrete building in the world. Over the last 150 years, the CONCRETE
CASTLE has seen service as a show house, guesthouse, apartment building,
flophouse and crack den. It now stands sadly on the brink of oblivion.
Your Restoration vote can make the difference. Vote CONCRETE CASTLE
and help us reclaim its title as the 'mother of all concrete'.
But there is an even better reason for voting-- if it wins, your vote
will not just save the CONCRETE CASTLE but help transform it into the
CONCRETE CASBAH -- the headquarters of STRUMMERVILLE the charity formed
in honour of the one and only JOE STRUMMER.
The main aim of STRUMMERVILLE is to provide benefits to individuals
groups and organisations to enable the production of music by creative
young people who would otherwise be prevented from doing so simply
because they lack the necessary funds.
Its aim is to have unique creative workspaces called STRUMMERVILLE in key
locations and towns like Bridgwater around the world.
In the last years of his life, Joe Strummer became a Bridgwater local,
who loved the town, its raw spirit and rebel traditions as well as the
madcap nature of the CONCRETE CASTLE.
The STRUMMERVILLE flagship in Bridgwater would feature rehearsal,
meeting and performance spaces, cafe, Black Lamp cinema and an art gallery
under the aegis of Damien Hirst.
In voting for the CONCRETE CASBAH and a STRUMMERVILLE headquarters in
BRIDGWATER you will be playing a vital part in kick starting the charity,
as well as the regeneration of an underprivileged and neglected town.
