May I firstly wish you all the best for 2009. Although it’s bitterly cold and the media is full of doom and gloom, I hope this latest edition of Southside News will bring you some cheer - and you may even be tempted to wrap up warm and come over to Croydon to some of the many interesting talks and presentations Alan Smith has arranged - see his programme on
page 5 - we would love to see you.
Alan Eggby has had yet another very successful year running the Waterways Game and Sales stand. Our Publicity stand, which promotes the waterways and our branch activities, is also
on display on these occasions, so take a look at Alan’s report on Page 6.
On the subject of our famous Waterways Game, in these straitened times it is becoming even more difficult to persuade members of the public to part with their hard earned cash
- unless they are convinced they are getting good value for their ticket purchase. Obviously the higher value the prize, the less profit is available to worthy waterways causes. So we
have a proposition - we know that personal circumstances often make it difficult for you to attend events, or to help run the stand, but if you could help in another way, for example by
contributing a prize, or its equivalent value, that would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to contribute, in cash or kind, please get in touch with Alan Eggby. Contact details for all
members of the Committee are on page 19.
As you know, our branch is campaigning to erect information boards along the route of the Croydon Canal - you can learn some very interesting facts and see some fascinating photographs of this piece of local history by taking a look at Alan Smith’s article starting
on page 11.
Mike Simmons, our Children’s and Young People’s Officer, has written an update on page 13 about our exciting new project with Tideway Adventurers ‘Learning Afloat’ , which aims to teach all age groups of the community about the skills they need to fully enjoy, respect and
keep safe on our waterways, as well as qualifying for recognised awards - tell your friends and family and come and join us!
We very much look forward to seeing you soon!

A Message from the Branch Chairman
First a big thank you to all branch members who have helped on the branch stand during the summer. Once again the stand has raised over £1000, which will be donated to waterway restoration or other causes.
Looking forward, our meetings organiser has a full programme of talks arranged for most of next year; you will find details on the facing page. It would be nice to see more of you at these social meetings, which are held close to East Croydon Station. The branch stand will be out and about again in the spring - the first event will probably be running the Information Stand at Little Venice over the first weekend in May, more details later.
May I wish you all the best for 2009 from all the branch committee.

The Stand & Famous Waterways Game
After a break for the whole of July our first event for this report was the New Addington Woodland Day on Sunday 3rd August. This is a small show held on rough fields in New Addington. The weather was like most of the summer with a threat of showers but luckily we only had one all day. We ran the Waterways Game and Sales Stand and made a profit of over £150 - it seemed to be an event with a steady flow of visitors but never really busy.
The August Bank Holiday weekend saw us at the IWA National Festival, this year at Autherley Junction near Wolverhampton. A phone call on the Tuesday prepared us for the worst - as a result of the torrential rain, being told to go to the racecourse and not the site. On arrival at the racecourse we booked in and were told to join a queue(one of seven) and
after about two hours we were finally told to proceed to the site. On arrival at the site we were shown to our place but had to keep the car on the temporary tracks that had been laid. We set up the stand and when we could finally get off site made our way to our hotel. Each morning during the festival we had to park at the racecourse and catch the special bus to the rally site. Fortunately most of the committee attended, plus some other members, so we were never short of staff. Over the weekend we made nearly £250 profit on the Waterways Game. Although the site was fairly muddy (not as bad as St Ives) we had a fine weekend, apart from one short shower. Getting out on the Monday evening was much better than unloading, with a one-way system on the site.
The following Sunday we were out again at a BW event on the Regents Canal in Mile End Park. The weather was wet when we arrived, so

we were told to set up in the activities centre. However, later in the day, we set up a second Waterways Game nearer the canal in a spare gazebo - once again we were fortunate to have enough help to man both stands. This event only raised about £30 from the Waterways Game.
A week later, we were back on the Regents Canal at City Road Lock for the annual Angel Canal Festival. Again, the weather was not at its best but we managed to make a profit of over £130 on the Waterways Game.
Our last big event of the summer was the following weekend, the 13th/14th September, this being the Mayor’s Thames Festival. We again joined in the Blue Ribbon Village at Potters Field Park,
between City Hall and Tower Bridge, our stand being on the Thames Walkway. We made a profit of over £150 on the Waterways Game over the weekend but found ticket selling very difficult owing to a ban on alcoholic prizes.
We thought that would be it for this year, but on 4th October we took the Waterways Game to a Jumble Sale, run by Tideway Adventurers, and made a small profit of £18.
Over the period of this report we have also sold about £500 of Head Office stock of which about 25% goes to Branch funds.
I must conclude by thanking everyone who has helped on the stand this summer and look forward to as much help in 2009.

Our monthly Social Meetings started in September with a talk on the Panama Canal by Roger Squires, a comprehensive coverage of the history of the area through to a transit of the canal by cruise ship.
In October we had Mark and Pam Bathurst from the Medway Queen Preservation Society, who gave an unusual presentation on the history of this venerable paddle steamer, its wartime exploits to Dunkirk, its post war demise and Lottery Funded restoration about to start at Bristol.
On November 5th Christine and I gave a presentation on Alaska & the Yukon, mostly a travelogue of our month-long holiday in June but including some inland waterways scenes on the Chena and Tanana Rivers in Alaska and, of course, the mighty Yukon itself.
We finished 2008 with our Christmas Dinner at Caprini Restaurant at Waterloo, which was most enjoyable and generated £44 from the Raffle. Many thanks to all those who generously donated the excellent prizes.
We started the New Year with a fascinating presentation by Liz Payne, the Chair of the Cotswold Canals Trust, showing the past and present state of Thames & Severn Canal and the Stroudwater Navigation. Of particular interest was the Lottery Funded restoration now in progress in the Stroud-Stonehouse area.

Unfortunately, owing to the extreme weather, we were forced to cancel our social meeting on 4th February and apologise for any inconvenience. Ken Oliver has kindly agreed to come in February 2010 with his update of the Wilts & Berks Canal Restoration.
As you will see on page 5, a varied programme of speakers has been arranged for the rest of the year and we would urge you to come and hear about the wider waterways scene. We are a friendly bunch and we can always accommodate more people! On a more prosaic note, we have to pay for the hire of the room and always make a donation to the societies who provide speakers, thereby helping to fulfill the aims of the IWA, so please come and support the Social meetings.

Forthcoming Events & Trips

The branch’s stand contains displays on the Croydon Canal, which often prompt people to say they never knew it existed and ask what can be seen today. The leaflet rack also contains information about the branch’s proposal to erect information boards to draw attention to various locations on the former canal route as a reminder of this long-lost waterway.
It has to be said that remnants of the canal are few and a lot of imagination is necessary. The best way to trace the route would be by helicopter, as most of what remains of the route is
TRACING THE CROYDON CANALat the rear of people’s gardens and therefore inaccessible to the public. Unfortunately, that option is unlikely to be available!
Firstly, a little historical background is necessary. The year 1801 saw George III give his assent to three Acts of Parliament, sanctioning the construction of the Surrey Iron Railway (SIR), the Grand Surrey Canal and the Croydon Canal. The railway was opened in 1803 from a basin beside the River Wandle, where it enters the Thames at Wandsworth, to Croydon. It was the world’s first public railway - a tramroad on which carriers provided their own horses and

wagons and paid a toll to the railway company, just like a turnpike road. The Grand Surrey Canal had various grandiose plans but by 1810 had only reached Camberwell, which would be its ultimate destination, although it did open a branch to Peckham in 1826. The Croydon Canal branched off the Grand Surrey Canal at New Cross and was not opened to Croydon until 1809, by which time its railway competitor had been in operation for six years. When the London & Croydon Railway was authorised, its line used part of the canal route and the Croydon Canal was purchased and abandoned in 1835, actually closing the following year. Croydon therefore had the dubious distinction of its canal being the first in the country to be legally abandoned.
To complete this potted history, the SIR was closed in 1846 (well into the steam era). The section from Mitcham to Waddon Marsh was later used for a steam railway from Wimbledon to West Croydon and is now used by
Tramlink. The Grand Surrey Canal became, in effect, an extension of Surrey Commercial Docks and was closed in 1971, although much of the route is walkable.
The London and Croydon Railway took a much more direct route than the canal it superseded, therefore several loops were left, some of which remained in water for some years. They were noted beauty spots and used for fishing and boating. The railway was keen to advertise them to boost its revenue until the area became part of suburbia. At this time, disused canals were a rarity and the Croydon Canal was probably the first canal to be used recreationally - another first for Croydon!
Starting from the north end of the canal, the first reminder can be seen at the south end of New Cross Gate station. On the east side adjacent to New Cross Road bridge you will see a portion of stone wall which lies on the line of the canal and is thought to be a relic. Not a lot, but it’s a start! The southern part of Shardeloes Road approaching Brockley station is built on the site of the canal, but has no properties facing onto it. On both sides are the fences of back gardens from houses in parallel roads - Millmark Grove to the west and Malpas Road to the east. The reason was that the towpath gave access to a brickworks, which outlived the canal.
Opposite the junction with Millmark Grove, some modern houses can be seen in Malpas Road, filling in a gap between the Victorian terraced houses. This was the site of a lockkeeper’s cottage.

from the Breakespeare Arms, when it was reopened in 2000. The canal reached its summit level at Honor Oak Park, the top lock (No. 28) having been just up the hill from the station, adjacent to the entrance to the recreation ground. Locks 26 and 27 lie underneath the nursery and an excavation by the Time Team might prove rewarding!
Just north west of Forest Hill station an interesting reminder of the canal can be seen in David’s Road, which climbs up the hill. The pavement on the west side is level, raised above the road. This marks the level of the towpath, the houses on this side of the road having been built on the site of the canal. A section which is still in water is off Silverdale at the junction with Dacres Road, to the east of the railway between Forest Hill and Sydenham. It is a nature reserve, but unfortunately the access gate is locked, the area only being available to school parties. The information
board does, however, mention that the pond is a remnant of the Croydon Canal. South east of Sydenham station, the route of the canal behind Venner Road is marked by a modern development, “Canal Walk”.
The Anerley Arms, by Anerley station, has some old pictures of the canal, which literally ran outside the door of its predecessor and was one of the sections kept after the railway opened. Where Anerley Road crossed the canal, the original bridge railings can be seen on the south side, beyond which is the well known preserved section of canal in Betts Park which has an information display about the Croydon Canal.
South Norwood Lake was a reservoir for the canal and has only been slightly reduced in size (see picture on front cover). It also has an information display. In Norwood High Street, the gateway in the building next to the Ship Inn was the access

to Norwood Wharf. Several canalside pubs had inappropriate ‘marine’ names, the nearby Jolly Sailor being another example. Finally, on the east side of Gloucester Road, Croydon, adjacent to the south side of the bridge over the West Croydon line is the parapet of the canal bridge. From the opposite side of the road, the footpath to Spurgeon’s Bridge follows the line of the towpath. When the former sidings on the north side of West Croydon station were unoccupied, you could see the stones which marked the edge of the canal as it approached its terminal basin. They may well still be there, but since the sidings were removed,

vegetation has covered the area. West Croydon station was built on the site of the canal basin.
These, then, are the principal relics of the short-lived Croydon Canal.

Note from Editor: Andrew Mann came onto the South London Branch Committee and headed the campaign to erect information boards at various points along the route of the Croydon Canal - since this article was written Andrew has sadly passed away.

Tideway Adventurers’ Narrowboats Theo and Merlin
Tideway Adventurers Narrowboat Project is a voluntary organisation and registered charity that was originally formed 25 years ago. The aim of the
organisation is to provide low cost opportunities for children, young people, and community groups to go afloat on England’s historic inland waterways and to
learn the many skills associated with boat handling and canal navigation. As well as gaining knowledge and understanding of the environmental value of our canals
and rivers, it’s also great fun!!
The Narrowboats – we have two 70ft long steel narrowboats, the 12 berth Theo and the 10 berth, Merlin both are moored at the Denham Yacht Station in Uxbridge. There is a skipper’s cabin at the stern of each boat with an extra berth in each. Both vessels have central heating, shower, flush toilets and galley with
hot and cold water.
Skippers provided, unless hirers have a narrow boat handling certificate. Groups wishing to operate the boat themselves will need to hold the Certificate In
Community Boat Management. The project does not supply bedding, tea towels or waterproofs. Both boats carry the requisite number of lifejackets.

TRIBUTESOLIVER S. TURNERSadly passed away in early October 2008. He had been very active on the London Waterways scene over many years. Having first joined the IWA in 1946, he was awarded an Honorary Membership in 2006. He and his wife ran the Marinas at Maida Vale and Cumberland Basin until they retired. He had been a supporter of the London Canal Museum since its formation. The Branch exends its sincere condolences to his widow and family.
ERIC STRIDESadly died in November 2008. He had been a member for many years; he very much enjoyed attending the social meetings at Croydon and was an active contributor at question time. He was also a keen member of RNLI, for which he was awarded a Bronze Award in 2007 for his volunteering services. He will be sadly missed by all at South London Branch, who send their sincere condolences to Joan.
DOUGLAS REDSTONSadly died on 13th December 2008. He was a founder member of the IWA London and Home Counties Branch Committee and later became Chairman of the Reading Branch of the Kennet & Avon Canal Association. He used to cruise the waterways a great deal and was concerned that not enough use was being made of them, especially in winter, and many private owners tended to stay very close to their moorings. A unique achievement of his was to invent the “Silver Sword” scheme which ran for a number of years and encouraged people to explore more, especially lesser used, waterways. The Branch extends its sincere condolences to his family.
ANDREW MANNWe were shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden death of our friend and fellow Committee Member, Andrew Mann, on Tuesday 3rd February. Our sincere condolences to Rita, Fred, Catherine and all his family. A more detailed tribute will be printed in the next issue of Southside News.
LONDON WATERWAYS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
On 8th January, the Environment Agency launched a plan for redeveloping and cleaning up London’s waterways. This imaginative scheme is essentially environmental in nature, designed to improve the state of rivers to assist wildlife and make them more attractive natural spaces which the public would want to visit.
In South London, the plan is to recover portions of buried rivers such as the Effra, which runs from Crystal Palace into the Thames at Vauxhall, the Ravensbourne in SE London, and the Wandle in Croydon.
Improvements are also proposed on the Hogsmill River, which flows into the Thames at Kingston, on Beverley Brook, which joins the Thames at Barnes, and on the River Shuttle - a tributary of the Cray in Bexley. The only projects on a navigable river listed are proposed on the Thames in the Hampton Court area.
