Now I have become fascinated by Mr Jefferson who wrote a history of Woolwich which was published in 1970.
So far all I l know is that he lived in Eltham from the 1920s and was President of the Woolwich and District Antiquarian Society.
He may have been a teacher and certainly the style of his book suggests someone who was easy at communicating complicated and detailed stories of the past in a simple and direct way.
But I have made a start by joining the Woolwich and District Antiquarian Society which at £10 is a small price to pay for an entry into such an august body.
And that really for now is all I have to say other than if there is anyone who knew Mr Jefferson or has some information on him I would love to hear from them.
In the meantime I shall go and ask the Eltham Society who may also be able to help.
