Battersea Arts Centre Archive

Battersea Arts Centre digital archive is a freely accessible website which combines materials from our building’s time as Battersea Town Hall and Battersea Arts Centre. Among other things, our archive includes original architectural plans, programmes from the UK’s first amateur boxing club, and documentation from key performances including  Jerry Springer the Opera  and Punchdrunk’s  Masque of the Red Death.

The archive is a collaboration between Wandsworth Heritage Service (who hold the town hall collection from 1892 to 1974) and BAC (who hold the theatre archive from 1974 to present) and by unifying these collections we want to create a picture of our building’s history over the last 120 years
