Question for Terry
Question for Terry
Have you done as much research into the history of Penge as you have done for the Crystal Palace? How interested in Penge are you? If you ever were to write a book about Crystal Palace, would you consider covering Penge in the first half?

No plans for a book, I don't think there's much of a market for another book on the Palace.
I havn't researched Penge at all, my area of interest goes up to the Palace, hence the name, which I've carried over from the VirtualNorwood site. I am always interested in London history generally, though most books seem so short of maps.
I'll leave the southeast of England in your capable hands!

Core, tell me about it... you are so right! Damn, I feel like I want to rant about this so much... I could talk about it all day, reviewing all my local history books, including the one on Deptford. I could tell you about the world history atlas I picked up the other day solely because it included maps on every page... Oh mate, where do I start? I'm in a complete muddle! *Falkor wisely removes his fingertips from the keyboard*though most books seem so short of maps.

Contour maps are the best!
The one in one of the canal books made it so clear why the canal took the route it did for example. I'm so used to hilly areas suprise, suprise!
Tulse Hill, for example, was covered in Georgian mansions and villas to catch the views over to the city. All now gone of course.

it was mainly to stay as near to level, on the same contour line as much as possible, with embankments to keep it true.
The area around devonshire rd, where it makes a double loop accross a shallow valley is more dofficult to explain, but I would imagine that was to do with ownership and permissions, rather than Geography.
