CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth was formed as a result of the London Government Act 1899 from five civil parishes - Clapham, Putney, Streatham, Tooting Graveney and Wandsworth. Previously these parishes were administered by the Wandsworth District Board of Works. When the metropolitan boroughs were replaced in 1965 Clapham and Streatham became part of the London Borough of Lambeth, and Putney, Tooting and Wandsworth were combined with Battersea to form the London Borough of Wandsworth.
