Recent addition

We have recently been given an album of 97 historic postcards of Blackheath and the surrounding area.

Most are postmark franked from 1902 to 1908 and were collected in a single album by John (Graham) Lane) who still lives in Blackheath. We have scanned both the front and backs of the cards.
Although we already have some of these in our archive they are presented here as a single album.

The full collection can be seen at  https://.../f1052468747
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About
Blackheath is a very special part of South East London with a unique history and heritage.

The Blackheath Society is an amenity society which works to preserve and enhance, for the benefit of the public, features of Blackheath which are of particular beauty, historical, architectural or constructional interest.

We aim to promote improvements and interest in the amenities and heritage of the area.

The digital archive now currently comprises some 41,000 images and magazines (and 60 videos) collected over the years which chronicle changes and events that have taken place on the Heath and which have contributed to its unique character.
