Description

Wimbledon & Southfields Through Time by Simon McNeill-Ritchie and Ron Elam explores the history of two distinct suburban districts in south London. From their origins in the Iron Age to their development as separate villages and town, this book delves into the changing fortunes of Wimbledon and Southfields over the past century. Using a selection of old and new photographs, local historians Simon McNeill-Ritchie and Ron Elam reveal how the arrival of the railway in 1838 and later developments transformed these areas. This unique perspective on south London's history makes this book an interesting read for anyone familiar with the area or its people. With a focus on the past century, Wimbledon & Southfields Through Time offers a fascinating insight into the evolution of two often-overlooked parts of south London.
