 The Ramsden Theodolite that started it all
The History of Ordnance Survey
Thursday 25 April 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Since the eighteenth century when English generals realised that available mapping wasn’t suitable for hunting rebellious Scotsmen across acres of wild Scottish Highlands the Ordnance Survey has been the country’s national mapping organisation, now responsible for keeping millions of pieces of data up to date for British business and citizens. John Dancy started work penning a black line on an enamel plate. He finished, 47 years later, in charge of the team that created Ordnance Survey’s classic paper maps from electronic data. His talk will be a very brief history of the development of this organisation, showing why it is still regarded as the world leader. Tickets are £5 (£4 Friends) - FREE tea and coffee from 19:00 Please phone 020 8642 4778 to book or simply print and return the booking form. |

In 2018 CAOS celebrated the work of Pauline Boty, with three schools joining CAOS artists in producing nearly 300 works of A5 artwork, inspired by Boty and displayed in businesses across Carshalton. Carshalton Artists plan on doing the same with Dickinson in 2019. |

London 1914-39
Thursday 27 June 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event City of London Guide Ian Bevan starts his talk with the First World War and its effect on Londoners. After the Armistice, London was the scene for protests of various sorts including the General Strike in 1926. However, in the inter-war years, new transport developments encouraged the growth of the suburbs with new and exciting architecture. Also, new buildings were erected in the modernist style for industry and entertainment e.g. cinemas. London too hosted spectacular events like the British Empire Exhibition as well as FA Cup Finals, Test matches and success at Wimbledon. Rising tensions though eventually led to the outbreak of another world war. Tickets are £5 (£4 Friends) - FREE tea and coffee from 19:00 Please phone 020 8642 4778 to book or simply print and return the booking form. |

An Unexpected Treasure -
Tales from the oldest senior school in Sutton Thursday 26 September 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Sutton High School was founded in 1884 by the Girls’ Day School Company, whose purpose was to provide a ‘public school’, liberal education for middle-class girls. The school is fortunate enough to possess a substantial archive which includes magazines, log-books, various artefacts and a wealth of photographs. The archive reveals the school to be a microcosm of national events such as the two World Wars and the development of women’s rights. It gives us a unique, sometimes poignant and occasionally humorous insight into Sutton’s past as will be revealed by Sue James. Tickets are £5 (£4 Friends) - FREE tea and coffee from 19:00 Please phone 020 8642 4778 to book or simply print and return the booking form. |
