Lambeth Local History Fair

Meet members of the Lambeth Local History Forum to learn about their work and how you might join in. Local history publications will be on sale. Entry to the fair is FREE. Light refreshments and toilet facilities will be available. There is a full programme of walks, talks and exhibitions running through the day.

Of particular interest to Herne Hillians is a talk at 11am by lifelong resident Robert Holden. Titled “Seven O’clock and not a Baby Bathed” Robert recounts how, amid the devastation of Lambeth and Wandsworth during the Second World War, his Grandmother (who lived in Herne Hill for over 35 years) delivered 500 babies at the mothers’ homes.
