The society was founded in 1973[2] and aims to care for Beeston, especially with respect to its historic buildings, heritage and urban environment. The society is involved in supporting planning applications perceived to be beneficial and promoting improvement of public spaces and local amenities. The society is a registered charity (503241).[3]
The society has worked with the Southern Broxtowe Blue Plaque Group in the installation of Blue Plaques in the district. As part of its Golden Anniversary celebrations in 2023, the group began working with Broxtowe Borough Council to create a Local Heritage List. It also initiated a project to recognise women who had made a significant contribution to the district.
