The Lewisham Local History Society was founded in 1961 with the aim of encouraging and assisting study of the local history of the London Borough of Lewisham and nearby areas.
The Society enables those who wish to know more about the history of Lewisham and neighbouring districts to share that interest with others of a friendly, like-minded outlook.
A full programme of monthly, illustrated local history talks is provided, together with occasional whole and half-day excursions, and conducted evening and weekend walks, to places of historical interest.
Society Members receive free copies of the quarterly Newsletter and the annual Lewisham History Journal.
This website was launched in 2007 and it is hoped that it will enable the Society to engage with a wider group of people.
