The Shores of Islington - an armchair cruise down the Fleet
Speaker: Lester Hillman Time: 8:00 PM Venue: Islington Town Hall, Upper Street, London N1
A few days off the full moon, Lester a former
coxswain tonight steers the Society down the Fleet
River with a richly illustrated
armchair presentation that deftly navigates past to future. Charting
a course from the heady heights of Highgate through the Farringdon
Valley and the 'Clerk's Well' he will bring us to the tidal Thames.
Lester is the Academic Adviser to the Society. He will
be familiar to members as a regular speaker and he recently focused
attention on the Regent's Canal, another waterway that helps define Islington.
