It’s a beautiful building and it has so much potential.

We didn\u2019t really know what was going to happen. You know it\u2019s so easy to say oh just knock it down, but it has found another role which is really good. I\u2019m really pleased about that.

We are very pleased with the outcome and hope we can all work together now and use our creative energies to find a use for the building.

Alan Gloak, who was part of Glastonbury Town Council, gave the then boss of SWRDA a quid and we got the building. There was a grand plan and the idea was that, because it\u2019s a massive building, it would be broken in two. Buildings A and B were the buildings which were less bad. Building C was the albatross.

In the meantime, I\u2019d set up the scrap metal scheme as a widow\u2019s mite method of raising a bit of money from people who hadn\u2019t got \u00a3100 for the community share. If you could bring us something rusty from your garden, that would do just as well and would be your contribution.

While the place was still half a building site, we put together the Arts Group, contacted all the local movers and shakers in the creative field that we thought might be interested and got that together.

Renovation of the building was mostly done by volunteers.

My intention was just to help create something which served the whole community \u2013 Glastonbury, Street. I think that one of the things that holds the area together is a kind of unorthodox, ethical approach grounded in strong values.
