We are a small band of volunteers whose aim is to present the interesting history of the British Bata Shoe Co Ltd, its fascinating industrial and architectural heritage, and the social history of those who worked for the Bata company and the people who lived on the Bata residential estate. We also aim to keep the name of Bata alive. Have a look at our website for more details and how to contact our chairman.
