Walking Eltham High Street .........1905

Now, I make no apologies about posting this image with little in the way of explanation. 

Eltham High Street, 1905

It comes from that smashing little book Eltham Village published in 1984.*

The caption says "Old Eltham High Street and the Brewery circa 1905.  The stationers, diary and corn chandlers opposite St John’s Church prior to road widening”.

The fun will be taking the names of the proprietors and that of the Rising Sun’s landlord and searching for them on the census records.

But that is for another time.

Location; Eltham
