Walk & Talk: Maidenstone Hill Revealed

David Whittaker, society member and long time resident of Maidenstone Hill will repeat, but a shorter version, his walk full of surprises. The Hill is a well known topographical feature north of Blackheath Hill, but exists now only as a road name. Over the years the area has seen many changes, it has been an important source for building materials some of which have had unfortunate results. The area housed the Pest House, Workhouse and a Plague Pit. We will locate the homes of interesting past residents and businesses. Needless to say there are some tragic stories to be told.

Meet at 10.00 at The Banana Tree (formely Cafe Rouge), Stockwell Street, Greenwich for coffee.
