Share's My Community and Me visits the Wandsworth Heritage Service

Gifty

Share's new My Community and Me project has been making connections with local services in Wandsworth.

This month, students visited the Wandsworth Heritage Service at Battersea Library and were treated to a wonderful display of old photos and maps from Battersea Park and Battersea Power Station.

Emma Anthony, the archivist at the Library, was able to answer a number of questions the students had about the maps and how Wandsworth had changed over the years.

Joyce particularly loved photos of Battersea Power Station and enjoyed looking at postcards from Battersea Park.

Gifty's favourite piece was a map of Clapham Common.

Our students were really keen to see more photos from the archives so we're hoping to organise a return visit very soon.
