Description
The Elephant and Castle A History by Stephen Humphrey Located in South London's Borough of Southwark, the Elephant and Castle is a major junction with a rich history. Its name originates from a public house that has been rebuilt several times, but its origins stretch far beyond this single building. The area was once home to an extraordinary range of landmarks and attractions, which are explored in detail. From 1850 to 1940, the Elephant and Castle was a vibrant and diverse place, with connections across the globe. This book brings new insights into the history of the area, uncovering valuable finds and shedding light on its past. With a redevelopment budget of £1.5 billion, the area is undergoing significant changes, making this an important time to explore its history. Stephen Humphrey's in-depth account provides a comprehensive understanding of the Elephant and Castle's complex past, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in local history or urban development.
