Clousden Hill Free Communist and Co-operative Colony was an anarcho-communist commune from 1895 until 1898 in Forest Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The commune was part of the back-to-the-land movement, operating a 12-acre farm under collective ownership and democratic control. The colony failed in part because of a lack of capital and internal disagreements and tensions. The nature of the internal tensions and disagreement are to some extent still faced by contemporary intentional communities, such as issues of gender and housework, and the sharing of labour more generally.
