THE OPEN SPACES SOCIETY

SR OSS

Records of the Open Spaces Society

The Collection covers the year’s 1808 - 2005.

The physical extent of the collection is 7 series.

Introduction

Lord Eversley, the former Liberal MP and minister, founded the Commons

Preservation Society in 1865. The aim of the society was to save London

commons for the enjoyment and recreation of the public. Its committee

members included such important figures as Octavia Hill, the social

reformer, Sir Robert Hunter, solicitor and later co-founder of the National

Trust, Professor Huxley and the MP's Sir Charles Dilke and James Bryce.

Most of the society's members initially came from the south east, so their

interests focused on London.

In 1899 the Commons Preservation Society amalgamated with the National

Footpaths Society, adopting the title Commons Open Spaces Society and

Footpath Preservation Society. The shortened name, Open Spaces Society

was adopted in the 1980's. The society promoted important pieces of

legislation, including the Commons Act of 1876 and 1899. Today its

principal task is advising local authorities, commons committees, voluntary

bodies, and the general public on the appropriation of commons and other

open spaces. It also scrutinises applications that affect public rights of way.

It has no branch organisation but works with local and regional bodies. It’s

membership, therefore, is small. The society also publishes a quarterly

journal as well as a wide variety of literature.
