Old Merton, once in Surrey, now engulfed in Greater London, has been so sadly urbanised and neglected during the past century that few people realise that it is a place worthy of a special corner in national history - a place with a story, sometimes dramatic, which goes back a thousand years and faithfully reflects many of the nation's major events and social changes. Merton was home to a number of exceptional people, including, Nelson, and William Morris. With its plentiful illustrations, the book aims at combining information with pleasure. It is intended for all who care about the future as well as for the past of places such as Old Merton. .
