Hybrid Local History Group resumes at 2pm on Tuesday 30th April at Southwark Pensioners' Centre and on Zoom

Southwark Pensioners' Centre Local History Group

Dear Members,

Our Hybrid Local History Group will resume after the Easter break at 2pm on Tuesday 30th April when we will welcome back:

Dr. Chris Constable, Borough Archaeologist, who will present “An Update on Southwark’s Archaeology”.

A year ago, Chris enthralled us with news of the Roman mosaics which had been uncovered near London Bridge. We are looking forward to hearing how the project is developing.

I attach below a link to the programme for the Hybrid Local History Group at Southwark Pensioners' Centre, 305-307, Camberwell Road, SE5 0HQ on alternate Tuesdays from 30th April to 23rd July at 2pm unless otherwise stated.

See you on Tuesday!

Sally
