About the talkJoin the Boundless North East London Group for another fascinating guest speaker club night. For the April club night, we welcome Roger Torode, an expert on the history of London’s public transport, who will take us back to one of the most extraordinary events in the capital’s history. In 1909, two Latvian armed robbers carried out a daring robbery in Tottenham, triggering a dramatic six-mile pursuit involving police officers, members of the public and an unusual assortment of transport, including two trams. As the chase continued, people joined in using whatever means of transport and makeshift weapons they could find. The pursuit eventually came to a tragic end in Highams Park, leaving two members of the public dead and 23 injured. Roger will tell the fascinating story of the events and the remarkable role London’s public transport played in the chase. Everyone is welcome to come along to this engaging and sociable evening. |
