Biographical history
In 1914 the Brentford Gas Company proposed to erect gas works on part of Duke's Meadows but their application was rejected by Parliament. The company applied again to Parliament in 1918 for further land for manufacturing purposes, pointing out the suitability of the Chiswick site for their needs. There was much local opposition and the company's plans were refused again.
Chiswick Residents' Committee was succeeded in 1922 by the Chiswick Civic Association as an unofficial society of residents and rate payers formed to foster and promote local interest in good causes. One of its main objects was the preservation of Duke's Meadows from industrial development and their profitable use for sports grounds and public purposes.
In 1923 Duke's Meadows, over 150 acres of orchard land bordering the Thames, was purchased by Chiswick Urban District Council from the Duke of Devonshire.
