About this book
Battersea, now part of London south of the Thames, is described place by place in this local history by Henry S. Simmonds, printed there in 1882 and dedicated to the vicar, the Rev. John Erskine Clarke.
The contents range from Nine Elms Lane, the gas works and Vauxhall Gardens to the mills, potteries and railway locomotive works of the district. Other chapters deal with Lavender Hill and the home of William Wilberforce, the St. John family and Lord Bolingbroke, St. Mary's Church, the ferry and the bridges over the Thames, the Duke of Wellington's duel with Lord Winchelsea, and the making of Battersea Park out of Battersea Fields.
