Forest Hill… Back in the Day (Facebook Group)

For those of us who are on Facebook and are interested in local history there’s a group on Facebook named exactly the same as this thread’s title that has photos of Forest Hill posted regularly that date from the late Victorian era up to the late '90s. There’s also a lot of nostalgic chatter among past and present residents.

For those who prefer the open web, check out our topics tagged #history

Here’s a few that caught my eye:

• Tram Crashes into Church, Stanstead Rd (1930s?)
• The Blitz, as viewed from Forest Hill, 1940
• Old photos of Forest Hill
• Early pneumatic railways in Sydenham and Forest Hill (SE26.life)
• Interesting map from 1790
• Forest Hill Station 1900s-1972
• The earliest mention of Forest Hill
