Historical Societies
Shaun asks:
Do you know if there's a historical society in Greenwich?
The Phantom replies:
After much searching, I found one that meets at the Music Centre, Blackheath High School, Vanbrugh Park. They tell us a time (7.15pm) but not a day - so it's worth contacting John Swindell on 020 8854 1716 - they don't appear to have a website.
Greenwich Industrial History Society is very active. I believe Mary Mills has a lot to do with it.
There is also Mycenae House Local History Group which meets on Monday mornings during term time. Contact: 020 8858 1006 or email MHLHG@LFTSmith.plus.com
Then there are the various societies:
Greenwich
Blackheath
Westcombe
And the Friends of:
East Greenwich Pleasaunce
Greenwich Park
One of these days I'm going to get myself together to do an annotated links page but for now, if anyone wants to add a local historical group link here - please feel free!
