Steam Circus have been occupying crane works at South Quays in Bath.

Charlie Dancey of Letinov Steam Circus writes: A team of artists and entertainers collectively known as the Letinov Steam Circus have been occupying large sheds at the old Stothert & Pitt crane works at South Quays in Bath for nearly two months, but now officials from B&NES have started proceedings to evict them from the site..."We were first attracted to the site because we needed rehearsal space,” said Charlie Dancey of the Letinov Circus “but we’ve been looking into the history of the site and we’re now determined to prevent the wanton demolition of some very important historical buildings."...The Letinov Steam Circus are inviting all to an open meeting this Sunday, 2pm, at South Quays, the aim of which will be to stop this concrete and steel madness at all costs. We want to create a voice loud enough to penetrate the deaf ears of B&NES. Our message is simple: "No, you can’t knock the crane works down! You need to tidy up the other mess you made first. You are very naughty boys and girls and you are to stop ruining our City!" We shall not be leaving just yet. Full article.
