From the BCA archives: Did you know that between January 1969 and July 1970, the police had raided the former Mangrove Restaurant in Notting Hill, twelves times? No evidence of illegal activity was found during these raids, but a protest march was held in August of that year, which led to nine arrests. You can learn more about the Mangrove Nine Campaign in BCA's Protest and Campaigns subject guide here.
