Frances Holliss was a UCL architecture student when, with Andy Milburn and Ches Chesney, she opened up the first squat in Tolmers Village at 58 Euston Street in 1972.  An old shoe-shop with living accommodation above, the property had no water, electricity or flushing WC when they moved in. Builders in the next-door house passed an electrical cable out through the window at night and, to start with, the household had to go to the toilet on Euston Station. Dirty washing up was taken in a suitcase to Frank and Sheenagh Goodingham’s flat at 183 North Gower St, where baths were also had. The household slept together in one large bed and shared clothes.
