Merton at War: A Heritage Map

 

From their project research, our team have devised the Merton at War heritage map. This map highlights sites with First World War associations, enabling you to explore different parts of the borough and learn about what was happening locally 100 years ago.

 

Copies of the Merton at War map are available across the borough from a range of local heritage sites, your local libraries and the Local Studies Centre in Morden Library.
