The most prominent statue in Tooting is that of Edward VII outside Tooting Broadway Station. It has been there since 1911 but how did it come to be there? How was it made? Where was it made?

Steve Parlanti will be telling us about the statue at our next meeting on Tuesday June 13th. Steve is descended from the family who ran the foundry where the statue was made.

You can read more about the Parlanti foundry here .

We hope to see members and guests, old and new, on Tuesday 13th June at 7.30 at the United Reformed Church, Rookstone Road, SW17 9NQ.
