The Eltham we have lost, part 4........ Avery Hill

Another of those pictures of Eltham’s past which need no comment.

Well I say that but there will be a few who will mutter that Avery Hill is still here, which of course it is, but not Colonel North who incidentally had his meals prepared by Mrs Morris who lived on Court Road and had been born in Pound Place in 1848, but that of course is another story.*


So I shall just leave you with the picture of Avery Hill in 1909, and a memory of walking the grounds on Sunday afternoons with Jennifer, Ann and Kay, not I hasten to add all at the same time.

Picture; making hay a rick at Lyme Farm from The story of Royal Eltham, R.R.C. Gregory, 1909 and published on The story of Royal Eltham, by Roy Ayers, http://www.gregory.elthamhistory.org.uk/bookpages/i001.htm
