Local History Research
Orpington u3a members please logon to see group leader contact details.
Are you interested in researching local history? Haveyou ever wondered about the road you live in? When was it built and who used to live there? OR..... how DID Orpington get developed? When and by whom? AND.... what role did the railway have in expanding the town? OR … why is the Parish Church up a hill...?
SO many questions and we hope we can use old maps, census information and other documents to find some answers.
If you are interested in joining this group please contact the Group Leader.
Meets: 4th Friday, 2-4 p.m. in members' homes.
Costs: None.
12 members in group. We have a waiting list but hope to meet in a venue where the group can grow.
