The Borough Environment Through The 20th Century

A talk by Historian Tom Conlon

---

Frequently in these lectures, we focus on the parts of our heritage which have been retained. In this case, we focus on what has changed. Drawing extensively on photographic archives, this lecture will describe some of the various transformations of the borough.

• Facilities which came and went (e.g. swimming baths)
• Almost entire rebuild of shop premises - some rebuilt more than once
• Electric trams through to one-way streets
• Steam trains give way to DART
• Steamers and fast ferries which came and went
• Industries which came and went
• Expansion of the housing stock and loss of green space
