Our home and base is the former Great George Street Congregational Chapel and
originally derived its familiar name the Blackie (now the Black-E) as a
shortened version of 'The Black Church' - a description of the Chapel in the
1960's covered with over a hundred years of inner-city smoke and grime. Although
stone cleaned in the 1980's the building still retains its name.
