A historical walk through Sydenham Hill Woods

Post by ALIB »

Our resident historian , Steve Grindlay, has very kindly agreed to do a historical walk through Sydenham Hill Wodds.
This is to take place on Tuesday 20th March, starting at 11am at the Cresecent Wood Entrance.

The talk should cover the Nunhead to Crystal Palace rail line, World War 2 bomb craters and some of the remains of houses that used to be on Sydenham Hill. Plus other items that Steve will produce on the day.

All are welcome. Well-behaved dogs are allowed to accompany the walk. Please wear appropriate walking shoes/clothes for (potentially) muddy/rainy conditions.
