Description: "Penge is an unpretentious, ordinary, resolutely unfashionable railway suburb, adrift in the low-rise sprawl of south-east London. This is a study of the transformation of the local landscape during the key period from the late 18th to the late 19th centuries when Penge was transformed from a semi-rural hamlet into a thoroughly urban railway suburb."--Jacket.
