Additional Information:
Mr Lawrie, Oral Histories’ and Resarch Volunteer for Jam Yesterday will focus his illustrated talk on the growth and expansion of market gardens from Central London to the suburbs of South-West London.
He will mention local people who were involved, such as the Poupart family, A W Smith and William Whiteley of Butts Farm.
This will be all the more interesting and relevant with the advent of spring and summer.
