Pillars of the Stoke Newington Community
We've been given the go ahead by our landlords
GLL, so in a few weeks we will take our first steps towards changing the look of the cafe we operate at the
Clissold Leisure Centre. This is a bright clean and functional space with a good wooden floor and practical furnishings for the many young families that use it, but is a little sterile. One feature of the whole centre is the use of columns and our idea is to decorate these, borrowing from the rather zany style of the (often heavily restored) Romanesque churches of Poitiers in West Central France. The work is going to be done by a dream team of the designers
Sara Burns and
Cressida Bell who has submitted the drawings that were approved by GLL. Why painted columns and why
Romanesque? Two reasons are that it could look good and make a trip to the cafe feel more interesting and adventurous, and also that its a reference to
Stoke N's own roots in the early middle ages.
