Report on our walk and talk …..
The sun shone for a most enjoyable morning. John expanded on many of the topics covered by the Storyboards on the South side, for example we learnt that the Princess of Wales pond was a man made pond forming the water supply to the now vanished Wricklemarsh House a magnificent eighteenth century house, although many pieces of stone from the house can still be found locally and in Beckenham. John also raised many points of interest for discussion and recommended novels and poems written about Blackheath. It was a very varied and amusing morning finished off with lunch in the pub. Join us next time?
