The Fight Against the Theft of Sydenham Common and One Tree Hill... and other open spaces in the Great North Wood

This pamphlet discusses the fight to save two such spaces in South London: Sydenham Common & One Tree Hill, and looks at campaigns to preserve other local open space for public access.
