In the grounds of Norwood Grove, the building thatContinue reading “Sponsored Walk: Crystal Palace to Streatham”
Sponsored Walk: Grove Park to Crystal Palace

One of the best bits was the discovery of a tranquilly sited bench at the end of Railway Children WalkContinue reading “Sponsored Walk: Grove Park to Crystal Palace”
Sponsored Walk: Falconwood to Grove Park
I had company walking today. I was joined by long-time friend and former colleague Charles Stobo (see image). This was a much shorter walk (only 4 miles) but especially interesting for me because of the company. My friend Charles is an absolute fount of knowledge on all things historical, particularly military history. Over the yearsContinue reading “Sponsored Walk: Falconwood to Grove Park”

You want to know more, come join me for a day and we can talk. IContinue reading “Sponsored Walk: Woolwich Arsenal to Falconwood”
