3rd January 1911 and the Siege of Sidney Street - a dramatic climax to the hunt for those involved in the murder of three City of London police officers the previous month. And, for me, an event that has provided history with one of its best photobombs (look on the roof) 👍 #OTD

Great to see this new book "The Coolie's Great War" by Radhika Singha - "A spectacular history of the hundreds of thousands of unacknowledged Indian labourers who kept the Allied supply lines flowing in the First World War"

The church of St Alban, Wood Street stood on what was said to have been a place of worship since the 8th century. Rebuilt by Wren post Great Fire, its tower was completed in 1685. The tower is all that now remains - the church was largely destroyed during the Blitz.

@SheridanParsonz Some inspiration for me too - about to start my project after joining at RootsTech. Hope I manage to complete the challenge!?!

Such an informative talk & thanks for the detailed notes too bringing names on the Memorial to life, inhabiting the streets of Penge as they went off to war.

[Simon Jeal @simon_jeal]

Brilliant and illuminating talk as always from @pengeology this evening. A Remembrance talk hosted by @PengePartners, commemorating the local men and woman who served and died in the First World War. #RemembranceDay2019

[Caroline Goffin @cegoffinHistory]

Looking forward to this. Think I may bring a couple of uncles along too who were Penge WW1 survivors. (If they feel up to it?)
