Turf Wars Part II: How sport re-shaped the Common

  • The Friends of Wandsworth Common Wandsworth Common West Side London, England, SW18 2ED United Kingdom (map)

Join Philip Boys for more heritage stories - a continuation of his November talk about the Common’s colourful sporting past - prodigious hopping achievements, bare knuckle fighting, hare-and-hounds, stag-hunts, sparrow-shoots, ice skating, pedestrianism, quoits, velocipide racing, etc etc - AND how it all radically reshaped the Common
