Saturday October 24 Croydon Canal Celebrations

11.00 a.m. Our bi-centennial walk begins outside Sydenham Station, Station Approach, following a brief introduction to the subject by Steve Grindlay. We follow the route of the canal along Silverdale to Dacres Wood Nature Reserve where Steve will talk about the remains of the canal. We then cross the railway line by the footbridge and walk along Sydenham Park Road to Albion Villas Road and the Millennium Green from where we can access the footpath alongside the canal/railway line as far as Forest Hill Station and cross the road to Havelock Walk. From Havelock Walk we return to London Road by way of David?s Road and then to the Hob Public House for a slide show and talk by Steve (at approx 12.30 p.m).

Lunch and entertainment will be available at the Dartmouth Arms from approx 1.15 pm. This is a Club 49 event (an amalgamation of Forest Hill Society?s 23 Club and Sydenham Society?s Club 26) and, as this is likely to be popular, you will need to reserve your place with the Dartmouth Arms (tel: 8448 3117) before 23 October.
