The Burtons’ St Leonards Society
About the Society
The Burtons’ St Leonard Society, was formed by local residents in the late 1960s (officially registered in 1970) to stop the demolition of listed buildings to make way for ‘modern’ development. The campaign, backed by various organisations like the Civic Trust and the Georgian Group, resulted in the designation of Burtons’ St Leonards, as a Conservation Area by the local authority in 1969.
