Our second Winter Lecture was held on Sunday 6 September at 123 Grafton Rd, now known as “Hum Salon”. 

Rosy Armitage and Oskari Miettenen presented on the history of the grand villa and the ongoing restoration project, which has mostly concentrated on the exterior so far.  It was exciting to hear about the plans for the house to function as a social enterprise and community hub.

The mulled wine provided by Hum was much appreciated, as was the live music playing while we socialised over refreshments.

Civic Trust wishes Rosy, Oskari and their team all the best with their ambitious and visionary plans for 123 Grafton Rd.
