Martin Spence has achieved something amazing, a local history that doesn't rely on anecdote and sentimentality. Stylish and readable, the book places the growth of this 'ordinary little place' firmly in the extraordinary history of London as the world's great city. There is a framework of ideas here and they are fascinating. The focus on Penge is nailed by the linked histories of transport: the Croydon canal and the railways, the century long battle to enclose Penge Common and the vast enterprise of the Crystal Palace. The book's orignal,the research is fresh and it's a gripping read. Read it. It could just change local history as we've known it. And that can't be bad.
