6-8pm, Wednesday 29th February
New Cross People’s Library, New Cross Road, London SE14 6AS
Come to the library for a drop-in workshop on what New Cross means to you. You can write, speak, draw, dance, or play music – whatever you’re most comfortable with. A camera crew will be on hand to interview you or capture your thoughts, drawings, poems and make everything into a documentary about New Cross.
Local History
I am looking for information about the New Cross Area in the late 19th century as my 2x Great Grandfather (Charles Hearn) owned/lived at 209 New Cross Road per census records in the 1870s through to his death in 1899.
I wondered if anyone in the area would have old photographs or pictures of the area from around that time as i would be interested to know how the local area looked at the time of Charle’s life. If there are any stories or events from that time I would love to hear those as well.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated, I can be contacted via der1969history@hotmail.com.
Many thanks
David
perhaps try the local historical society (basement of the New Cross Learning Building).
