Historical society to present images of Woodford from the archives

Woodford-Cycle-Meet-June1903

Images documenting local history will be on show at the Woodford Historical Society’s meeting on 14 March.

“My talk will be a light-hearted review of archive information and illustrations of Woodford gleaned over the past year,” said Peter Lawrence, whose presentation will take place at All Saints Church hall from 2.30pm (visitors: £3).

Among the images will be a photo of the Woodford Cycle Meet, an annual fancy-dress parade which ran from 1882 to 1914 to raise money for local hospitals.
