First published in 1890, this second volume of William Thomas Vincent's "The Records of the Woolwich District" covers Abbey Wood (although not named as such), Bexley, Charlton, Eltham, Erith, Kidbrook, Plumstead, Shooters Hill, Welling, and Wickham, as well as some more on Woolwich. It includes over 200 illustrations, plus 45 photographic portraits of local men of influence. The book includes many old maps, is rich in the main institutions of churches, schools, charities and industries, and also includes topography, and notable events. This makes it invaluable for the local- and family historian.
