Don’t forget: blue plaque unveiling today!

The blue plaque to commemorate local resident Elsy Borders is being officially unveiled at 81 Kingsway on Saturday 12th April, at 3pm. Do pop along and join us.

UPDATE: The event was a huge success. See the photos and video of the day.

Elsy Borders was a pioneer who changed the course of legal history. Leading a nationwide mortgage strike, she shook the very foundations of the political and economic basis of housing policy in Britain. A hero to homeowners nationwide, she made national and international news – and more recently was celebrated in the BBC Radio documentary: A House Called Insanity.

CHVRA have been campaigning for a blue plaque to celebrate Elsy for many years. As a woman of local and national importance it seems only right that we remember her and honour her legacy.
