EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, dating back to October 1887, offers a glimpse into the past of West Norwood, a district in London that was once home to the Eltham House Harriers athletic or running club. The image on the left showcases the Lodge at the top of the fields, which served as a focal point for the club's activities. The members of the Eltham House Harriers would gather here to begin their runs through the picturesque countryside, enjoying the fresh air and camaraderie. The image on the right of the engraving reveals the Rose and Crown pub, a popular watering hole and social hub for the local community. The Rose and Crown would have been a regular meeting place for the Harriers after their runs, allowing them to unwind and share stories of their athletic exploits. West Norwood was a familiar area for the Eltham House Harriers, and this historical engraving provides an important insight into the club's rich history. The club, which was established in the late 19th century, played a significant role in promoting running and athleticism in the local community. The image, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the beauty and charm of West Norwood during this period, with its rolling hills, quaint buildings, and vibrant social scene. The Eltham House Harriers' runs through the fields of West Norwood were a cherished tradition, and this engraving captures the essence of that time. The club's legacy continues to inspire runners and athletes in the area, and this historical image serves as a reminder of the rich athletic heritage of West Norwood.
