For this, the third book in a series on the area of Walworth, we let the people, old and new, speak first-hand about SE17. A few of those you will hear from have long since left Walworth physically, but it is a place they still hold dear to their hearts. Authors Mark Baxter and Darren Lock have collated quotes and, along with the use of social media, have managed to find many who have a tale to tell.

Funny, sad, reflective, joyous – many moods are captured in these photographs, many of which have never been printed before. Walworth’s strong sense of community is evident in the rich memories recounted in this volume. We hope the following pages also bring back memories for some of you as you read it. SE17 Forever!
