Join David Whittaker and other members who will be looking at the Maidenstone Hill area of Greenwich and the public houses that have disappeared over the years, many without trace. In a very small locality, we have lost a dozen or so, mostly during the 20th century, without any being replaced. We'll see some of the individuals and organisations who used these pubs, their role in the community, the effect of changing licensing laws, how problems arising from alcohol consumption were dealt with, and the influence of the temperance movement and why they ended up closing down.
Meeting at 5pm at The Richard l pub in Royal Hill, Greenwich where they still serve a good pint. David will give a short introduction and then take the group on an interesting walk round the area.
Tickets £5, please reserve your place through Eventbrite. The link will take you directly to the booking page.
