I recently purchased one of his books "Reminiscences of Old Deptford" printed 1895. I have seen this book advertise for sale at £75 up to would you believe £145!! My copy was a lot cheaper and I have decided to copy and post its contents here so all the folk of Deptford can enjoy its content. Here is the first instalment with more to follow. Enjoy

Hi all
I am very keen to speak to the editor of this blog Andrew White or anyone who knows a lot about the history of Deptford (particularly any photographs). Please can you post a comment back to me or call/email me at: 07850212117 nicola.harris@bbc.co.uk
I am researching for a new family history series which traces back to a family who lived in Deptford in 1900, and would love to share more.
Many Thanks,
Nicola
