You are invited to a talk at Raynes Park 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.

RAYNES PARK LIBRARY prebook tickets on 8543 3928 OR buy on the door.

SATURDAY APRIL 5th at 7.30 pm

TICKETS ONLY £3 (or £1 for Friends members!)

The talk lasts about 90 minutes with a coffee break.

A fascinating, fun and cheap way to spend an evening!
