Heritage Lottery Fund Projects

FoBLC acknowledges the financial support of the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Ladywell Ward Localities Fund in making possible the project to record the history of a few of the civilian victims of bombings during the First World War, who are memorialised in the Brockley and Ladywell Cemeteries

Here are some projects that have been realised thanks to that support:

1/ A Commemoration of Civilian Deaths in the Deptford area in the First World War, an explanatory booklet is available from the Friends group. Click here to see the display panels

2/ The Bombings of South East London 1915-18, a two part resource for schools, click here for School Studies information and here for Questions of Evidence

3/ A Commemoration of Civilian Deaths in Hither Green and Sydenham in the First World War, click here to see the display panels

Meetings are held in the Chapel in the Ladywell Cemetery, starting at 7.30pm.
