British Muslim Heritage Centre

British Muslim Heritage Centre formerly the GMB National College, College Road, Whalley Range, Manchester, is an early Gothic Revival building.nThe building became the national college of the GMB in the late 20th century and trained many trades-union negotiators. The GMB sold the college in 2004 as it was considered too expensive to maintain. After a period of uncertainty, the building was purchased by the British Muslim Heritage Centre to “serve as a focus for Muslim heritage and identity in Britain”.nIn January 2013 and 2014, the building was nominated for the Arts and Culture Awareness award at the British Muslim Awards.nNasar Mahmood currently serves as a trustee of the centre. He was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours List in 2019.
