Online talk: Tuesday 3 February , 8pm-9pm
For generations, a red lamp on a Dulwich street corner was a sign of medical help nearby because doctors made themselves known by hanging them outside their houses, 90% of which were on street corners. This online talk by Dulwich Society Local History Chair Ian McInnes explores why medical practices clustered on corners, how patients found help after dark, and tells us the everyday history of medicine in Dulwich. Please note this talk will be held online via Zoom.
Tickets are £5.60 per person, available from the Bell House website here. Proceeds go to St Christopher's Hospice
