Description
Sydenham and Forest Hill Through Time explores the transformation of these leafy London suburbs over the past two centuries. From their rural roots as part of Sydenham Common, to their growth into fashionable suburbs with good access to green spaces, Steve Grindlay's photographic tour reveals the key events that shaped their development. The construction of the Crystal Palace on Sydenham Hill and the arrival of the railway in 1839 were pivotal moments in Sydenham's transformation. Today, Sydenham and Forest Hill are attractive places to live, with a rich history and heritage. This book showcases many of the area's points of interest, including the Horniman Museum and Jews Walk. A must-have for anyone familiar with these suburbs, Sydenham and Forest Hill Through Time offers a unique insight into their past and present.
