Surbiton’s historical society has gone into hibernation during the coronavirus crisis, in common with most other community groups which used to meet regularly.
The monthly meetings in April, May and June have been cancelled, with the speakers pushed back until later dates.
It means that a trio of intriguing topics will be deferred. April’s talk was to have been about the effects of the Spanish Civil War on Britain in the Second World War; May’s subject was the gripping-sounding Blood, Guts and Gore – Murder in Victorian England; while June was due to be The Forgotten Boys of the Sea 1772-1873.
With everyone advised to remain at home, communal gatherings ruled out, and travel restricted, it was inevitable that the Surbiton & District Historical Society would have to put life on hold.
