Battersea Park bandstand

Erection date: 2/6/2004

Inscription

With financial support from: Onyx Environmental Trust, the Friends of Battersea Park.

Site: Battersea Park bandstand (1 memorial)

SW11, Battersea Park

It's always worth checking the central point in the floor of a bandstand.  This plaque is not too interesting but we found Lord William Russell's beheading in the Lincoln's Inn bandstand.  The Regent's Park bandstand carries its sad memorial on the side.
