Campaigners calling for a permanent visitors centre and education venue focused on Bristol’s involvement in the slave trade have submitted a planning application to create one in the city centre.
A coalition of groups have formed the Abolition Shed Collective, and have submitted a full planning application to turn the Seamen’s Mission building on Prince Street, close to The Centre and the Floating Harbour, into a major new venue.
The proposal could transform the boarded up eyesore building - but those behind the project acknowledge they don’t have the money to do it themselves, and have submitted a planning application to get the issue out to be debated publicly.
