Members of Bromley Young Communists at the forefront of a CND demonstration, Horley, Surrey, c1964-1970. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) was founded in 1958 after Britain agreed to the siting of American atomic weapons on British soil. Prominent figures including Bertrand Russell, Michael Foot, JB Priestley and Canon John Collins were amongst the movement's founder members. At the peak of the controversy over the stationing of cruise missiles at Greenham Common in the 1980s, CND reached the peak of its popularity, with a membership of almost 100,000.
