Summary
| Description |
English: Kennington Park Kennington Park was originally common land, but was laid out as a park in the mid-19th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was the site of public executions and in 1848 a major chartist rally was held here which led directly to a change in the law extending the franchise in 1852. During the Second World War a communal shallow-trench air raid shelter was built here which suffered a direct hit in October 1940 killing at least 46 people. The full story of this terrible event is told here: http://www.vauxhallandkennington.org.uk/forgottentragedy.pdf . |
