Sevenoaks Branch Talk: Peter Daniel on the History of Crayford’s famous textile printers (at Swaisland & David Evans) who were at the forefront of the Chartist Campaign to win the vote for the working man

Peter Daniel lives in Crayford with his wife Julie and two daughters who are both now at secondary school.

Peter attended Wentworth and Wilmington Grammar Schools. He worked for 4 years in finance in the City, which he hated, before studying Economic History at the University of Sussex. He then worked as a primary school teacher at Oakfield and West Hill schools for 6 years before becoming Education Officer at Westminster Archives for 14 years.

He has always been interested in local history and since 2008 worked closely with his friend Simon McKeon at Bexley Local Studies and the Crayford Town Archive to create the Crayford History website as a platform for local schools to discover "the rich history of our corner of Kent".

 Doors open 10.45am, meeting starts 11am. 

There is a large public car park (payment required, 50p for 2 hours, £1 for 3 hours) adjacent to the hall but it can be busy.

No booking, just turn up.
