http://batterseasociety.co.uk/talkingpoints.php
Welcome to the Battersea Society website. Man on the Bus. What's YOUR view on the current debate about how to deal with the problem of London's airport. Should we add another runway to Heathrow, or Gatwick, or Stanstead, or build a new airport out in the Thames Estuary (Boris's Island)? Or perhaps you think there's a different solution, or maybe you can't see there's a problem at all. Join the debate! Comments powered by Disqus. Standard (£15pa ). Up to 4 members per household.

The Battersea Society: History of Battersea
http://batterseasociety.co.uk/history.php
Welcome to the Battersea Society website. Man on the Bus. A brief history of Battersea. The name of Battersea (in medieval times Batricheseie, Batricesege or variants) probably refers to the gravel ‘island’ by the Thames on which the church, manor house, and principal arable field lay. In 1066 the manor of Battersea belonged to the crown, but soon after the conquest William the Conqueror gave it to Westminster Abbey. It became one of the principal manors supporting the monks at the Abbey. The expansion o...

Transport is a majo...

Battersea Today
http://batterseasociety.co.uk/batterseatoday.php
Welcome to the Battersea Society website. Man on the Bus. The decline of Battersea's industries which started in the 1970s is now virtually complete, and the riverside has become dominated by large scale housing developments, mostly flats. The often-told tale that there were plans to change the name of North Battersea to new Chelsea is probably just wishful thinking but certainly as prices rocketed north of the river, there was a move south in search of more affordable property. Will be little different.
