Group    From 1970 

Battersea Society

Categories: Community / Clubs, History

As so often happens, this group was formed to campaign against the proposed demolition of something, in this case Albert Bridge. Thankfully their campaign was successful and they have gone on to similar campaigns and generally to improve the quality of life in Battersea.
