who have been accommodated on their estates. During the year
275 Battersea families were provided with accommodation on
London County Council estates outside the Borough. Accommodation
was also provided by them at Peterhead House, Battersea
Bridge Buildings or Durham Buildings for 17 other Battersea families.
