Welcome to the website of Lamorbey and Sidcup Local History Society

Meetings

All meetings are held at St Lawrence's Community Hall, Sidcup on the first Tuesday of each month.

The Echo Project

Keep an eye on our new project to encourage interest in Sidcup's history and to have a positive effect on the town's street scene.

Sidcup's Great War: A Living Pageant

See pictures of our community event to commemorate the First World War and our project to investigate Sidcup's Home Front.

Our geographical area of interest is the southern region of the London Borough of Bexley in north west Kent, comprising Sidcup, Blackfen, Foots Cray and North Cray. Our interest in local history extends beyond the boundaries of Sidcup into Kent, London and the surrounding areas. This is reflected in the variety of our meetings.

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR MEETINGS ON 7 APRIL AND 5 MAY HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS

‪We were very excited to be part of this year’s Bexley Book Buzz Literary Festival. On 25 February we gave an illustrated talk at Sidcup Library on the story of the Queen's Hospital and its pioneering work in facial reconstruction during World War One.‬

Our 'Famous People of Sidcup' banners can be seen in the High Street and Station Road areas. Accompanying leaflets are available from Sidcup Library. You can also download a copy of the leaflet. Bookmarks based on the banners are also available from Sidcup Library.
