SOUTHALL HISTORY SOCIETY
Southall Local History Society has unfortunately ceased to exist. Some of our material can be attributed to them. The Late Miss E.M. Barnett wrote the papers about the Manor House and E.L. Ham and these were probably written for the local history society. Published here having been left with Nick Taylor for this purpose.
The Late George Twyman who was their chairman wrote a short book about the Martin Brothers entitled: 'The Martin Brothers- The Southall Potters 1877-1923" Published by the Southall Local History Society in 1995.
