Ipswich,
IP4 4PH
Easy Parking at the rear.
We welcome Andy Relf presenting his special talk “The Necropolis Line or A Single to Surrey.
An illustrated look into the background and reasons behind why they had to find a new way to inter their loved ones living in 1880’s London.
Outrageous suggestions may surprise you, but railways seemed to provide a
solution to the problem, which only stopped because of the Luftwaffe.
Not a morbid talk but an informative look at one of the problems, to cope with rapid growth of London as the thriving capital city and how “modern transport” helped solve some of the issues. Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey became the largest cemetery in Europe.
For this talk, admission is £3 for Society members, £4 for non-members –
pay on the door and arrival. NO need to prebook, just turn up and pay cash please.
We are also preparing to run a short Course later in October on how to start your Family History Research.
