The British fascination with heroic failure has clouded the story of Arnhem ? the battle for the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine in 1944 ? in myths. Antony Beevor, the distinguished military historian, has reconstructed the terrible reality of the fighting. It is a gripping account of an iconic moment in British and European history as well as an analysis of the cost of failure, which included pitiless German reprisals.

Join us on Wednesday 21 June to hear Antony Beevor talk about the battle of the bridges at Arnhem.

Antony Beevor?s previous bestselling books include Berlin, D-Day, Ardennes 1944 and the multiple prize-winning Stalingrad.

This event is taking place on Thursday 21st June 7.30pm in the MCT at Alleyns School

  My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'! She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s. Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it. Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road).

  Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
