On This Day 14 May 1931 The Streatham Antiquarian and Natural History Society visited Farnham Castle.
The Streatham Antiquarian and Natural History Society were the predecessor of the Streatham Society.
Formed by those with an interest in Streatham’s past and heritage and those with a passion for the natural environments, this new local society held their first meeting in 1933. Their meetings were held quarterly and on a Monday evening. Their membership ran into hundreds and, like the present day Streatham Society, presented a varied programme of events such as walks, visits, lectures and exhibitions, as well as publishing various books and pamphlets
