Discover the hidden heritage of Wimbledon and Southfields in this fascinating chronicle. From its Iron Age roots to the present day, author Ruth Mansergh uncovers lesser-known stories about the area's rich history.
The story of Wimbledon is often associated with the world-famous tennis tournament, but the village has a much longer and more complex past. Mansergh explores themes such as highwaymen on Wimbledon Common, the visit of Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1891, and the development of Wimbledon town, among other topics.
Illustrated throughout, 'Secret Wimbledon & Southfields' presents a unique glimpse into the intriguing history of this London area.
