An illustrated talk by local historians Jerry Dowlen & Richard Bowdery with poet Maureen Hillier.

A study of Orpington & the Cray Valley – it’s people, social history & built environment, reveals a lot which is interesting & unusual.

The trio’s entertaining talk was a sell-out at the 2024 Orpington Literary Festival, drawing on material from Jerry & Richard’s popular booklets ‘Curiosities of Orpington’ & ‘Curiosities of the Crays’ produced by local publisher Cray 150.
