🚶🏻♂️ CLIFF WALKS BLACKHEATH 📍
EPISODE ONE: WRICKLEMARSH ROAD, SE3
Well… this escalated quickly. 😂
The plan was simple:
Walk Wricklemarsh Road in Blackheath, dig into its history and make a nice, punchy 90-second video.
FOUR. MINUTES. LATER. 🎬🤣
In my defence… how the bloody hell are you supposed to squeeze nearly 1,000 years of Blackheath history into 90 seconds?!
Because Wricklemarsh Road isn’t just another lovely residential street in Blackheath, South East London. 🏡
Start digging and we’re going all the way back to…
📖 The Domesday Book of 1086
🌳 Open countryside
🏛️ An absolutely enormous Georgian mansion
👨🏻 A chap called John Cator
😳 …and the small matter of said mansion eventually being pulled down.
And I genuinely had no idea about some of this.
I spend my working life as a local estate agent in Blackheath and South East London, walking these roads, valuing homes and selling property here.
But how often do any of us actually stop and think…
🤔 Why is this road called that?
🏡 What was here before these houses?
🏛️ And who on earth decided to knock THAT down?! 😂
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how…
🚶🏻♂️🎥 CLIFF WALKS BLACKHEATH was born.
No Rightmove. ❌
No house tour. ❌
No “stunningly presented accommodation offering an abundance of natural light…” ❌😂
Just me, a camera and the stories hiding in plain sight around Blackheath, SE3.
📍 FIRST STOP: WRICKLEMARSH ROAD
So grab a cuppa ☕, give me all four bloody minutes 😂 and discover where the name Wricklemarsh comes from, what Wricklemarsh House was and how this part of Blackheath developed.
Then I need your help… 👇
WHERE SHOULD CLIFF WALKS BLACKHEATH GO NEXT?
🏘️ A road?
🏛️ A building?
🍺 A pub?
👀 A forgotten corner of Blackheath?
And if you live on Wricklemarsh Road, grew up here or know something I’ve missed, get in the comments. ❤️
Local knowledge is exactly what I want this series to uncover.
