Walk and talk will inform you about the First World War
Two events taking place as part of the Carved in Stone project will reveal more about Merton during the First World War. Details are below:
Merton at War: A Guided Walk
Saturday 7 November 2015, 10.30am - 12.30pm.
To mark the release of the Merton at War Heritage Trail, members of the Carved in Stone project team will be leading a guided walk around the Merton and Morden area. This will highlight local places of interest associated with the 1914-18 war, from hospitals and wartime industry, to the role of women, Merton V.C.s and wartime propaganda.
The walk is approximately 3.5 miles in length. This is a free event but spaces are limited, so book to avoid disappointment.
The walk will start from outside Colliers Wood Underground Station and will finish at the National Trust property, Morden Hall Park, with a refreshment break on route.
