Description - Explore past and present in suburban streets built for railway managers.

Vere Road, girlhood home of QueenSpark author Daisy Noakes, intrigues with its elegant raised pavement & railings, mysterious relic of St Saviour's Church, and the latest fashion for energy smart living. You are welcome to book for this tour which ends with a peek inside the famous historic garden at 5 Warleigh Road where refreshments will be available. The event is offered free of charge by local residents.
