Town Trails

Take a walk around Lamorbey and Sidcup with our beautifully-illustrated heritage Town Trails.

Our geographical area of interest is the southern region of the London Borough of Bexley in north west Kent, comprising Sidcup, Blackfen, Foots Cray and North Cray. Our interest in local history extends beyond the boundaries of Sidcup into Kent, London and the surrounding areas. This is reflected in the variety of our meetings.

We are pleased to welcome members, prospective new members and visitors to our monthly meetings

Take a walk around Lamorbey and Sidcup with our new heritage Town Trails, including beautifully-illustrated maps and numbered points.

 

Enjoy our free outdoor exhibition at the old library site in Hadlow Road, Sidcup which tells the story of Sir Harold Gillies and The Queen's Hospital.

On 28 October 2023 representatives of our Society attended the Friends of Foots Cray Meadows celebration event to mark the official launch of their QR information posts and the planting of a commemorative Coronation oak tree by the Deputy Mayor Nigel Betts. Our Society was thanked for our support of the project and for donating the drone footage of the Meadows which can be seen at www.footscraymeadows.org.

Our 'Famous People of Sidcup' banners could be seen in the High Street and Station Road areas during 2019-23. Accompanying leaflets were produced; you can download a copy of the two leaflets.
