This one seems to have conveniently slipped under the radar of local news. The entire village of #Littlebredy near #Bridport #Dorset is being evicted after the anonymous new owner bought the estate last autumn.

‘Near #Bridport in #Dorset right now, an entire village is facing eviction, following the sale of the #Bridehead Estate for about £30m. The official new owner, Bridehead Estate Ltd, is registered to the same address, with the same officers, as a company called Belport. The Telegraph reports that the estate “was bought by #Belport, a private equity firm, on behalf of a wealthy client last autumn”, but no one knows who the client is.

This eviction impacts the lives of 32 families living there.

@cl3mcg Thanks! I've almost certainly got a £20k grant (yes, MUCH less than the minimum £2.7m Go-op are trying to raise) to pilot the new community bus service. I just need to convince #Bridport Town Council to accept the money on our behalf (our small community org didn't pass the financial due diligence tests because the grant is more than our turnover) 🤞🙏

I've added this wonderful photo to the article at https://bl.ag/biles, documenting the life and work of Bridport's George Biles. It shows him on the first day of his apprenticeship at Frederick Barrett & Sons in 1914.

The picture is among a collection of archival images and other items shared by Biles' surviving family, some of which will be shown in the exhibition that starts next Thursday: https://www.bridport-tc.gov.uk/george-biles-lottery-project/.
