The Society’s talks programme will resume after a summer break. We are planning a series of online talks, as matters relating to the pandemic are still uncertain. The first talk will be on 20 September when James Marshall, former manager of Hounslow’s Local Studies & Archives, will speak about the history of the Great West Road. This promises to be very good as he is the expert, and has been working during the lockdowns on updating his long out-of-print book on the subject. Full details will be sent to members in early September with the rest of the Autumn Programme. Speakers are still to be finalised, but the other dates for your diary are 18 October, 15 November and 20 December 2021.

The thirtieth issue of our Journal will be ready to post to all paid-up B&CLHS members in early June and will be added to the bookshop elsewhere on this site soon afterwards.
