Great picture – do you have a by-line for it?
According to the book, there’s a good chance that it came from the Lewisham Local Studies Centre:
http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/ContactUs/Contacts/LocalHistoryAndArchivesCentre.htm
But it doesn’t credit the photograph specifically. I should add that the photo is not mine, so is not covered by the creative commons license on this site, and will be immediately removed from the site, should someone contact me about any copyright issue.
Does anyone have a picture of the elephants being loaded off the train or walking up through the village? I remember watching them when I was a little girl in the 60′s.
That I would like to see!
Go to Google
type in blackheath camels
then click on pictures / photos
en hey presto there they are.
Camels in Blackheath: It does not get any cooler than that!
The Beasts survey the town, and the locals survey the Beasts.
