You are invited to a talk at Wimbledon Library! Men such as Jerry
Abershaw, Galloping Dick Ferguson, the Golden Farmer, and even Dick
Turpin worked the roads locally. Some of them frequented local inns
such as The Green Man and The Bald Faced Stag on the old Portsmouth
Road near Wimbledon Common and most of them ended up on the gallows or
the gibbet. Local writer CLIVE WHICHELOW has looked into the history of
some of these "knights of the road" and reveals the true stories behind
some of the myths, though even the true stories are often colourful and
bizarre, such as the highwayman vicar, the skating highwayman and even
the highwayman who committed his robberies dressed as a woman.

WIMBLEDON LIBRARY prebook tickets on 8540 2770 OR buy on the door.

SATURDAY MARCH 8TH at 7.30 pm

The talk lasts about 90 minutes with a coffee break.
