Avoid cheap photocopies that are difficult to read and have poor image quality FamLoc is the only publisher to properly republish local history books. "History of Deptford" covers the old Parish of Deptford, which included New Cross and part of Brockley. Originally published in 1884, this FamLoc edition has made changes to format and punctuation, but the prose has been faithfully retained, other than changes to a handful of typographical errors and the very few instances where clarity was required. Deptford is steeped in history, and this new edition of Dews' "History of Deptford" is invaluable for family historians, local historians, as well as those with Deptford connections who wish to know more about the town and its surrounding area.
