Formerly called | "Wood Green, The Animals Charity", "Wood Green Animal Shelters" |
Woodgreen Pets Charity was founded in 1924 by Miss Louisa Snow. She had been concerned at the large number of abandoned and injured animals on the streets of London following the First World War. This led to her opening a centre in a house in Lordship Lane, North London.[1]
In 1987 the charity opened its centre in Godmanchester, Cambridge. The original Lordship Lane building closed down on March of 2020.[2]
