The Wandle Industrial Museum is organising an Industrial Heritage walk on 19th April 2024. The event is free and starts at 11am, meeting at Collliers Wood Station, and finishing around noon.
The walk will take in Miller’s Mead, Wandle Park, Merton Mill which was converted to flats having previously housed a flour mill, and then Connolly’s leather works, a housing estate where a calico printing works. The walk will then head to where Paxton’s patent leather factory once stood, Wandle Bank, William Morris’s works, and end at Merton Abbey Mills, where refreshments will be available in the former Liberty textile printing buildings.
Although the walk is free any donations to the Wandle Industrial Museum are most welcome. To book email: john.sheridan08@gmail.com
