Thamesmead and Woolwich are on the parkrun map

Make an active start to your weekend by heading down to the newest location on the parkrun map where you can walk, run or jog a 5km route – all for free.

Parkrun is a weekly run or walk for people of all abilities. We’re working in collaboration with Parkrun, Peabody, Berkeley Homes and Woolwich Exchange to bring the latest stop to the borough. You can also join a Parkrun in Sutcliffe Park, Charlton Park and Avery Hill Park.

Over 350 parkrunners joined the starting line at the Royal Arsenal on Saturday 17 June with local ward councillors volunteering along the way.

The run stretches along the Thames Path and into Peabody’s Gallions Park where runners and walkers return to finish outside Woolwich Works – the perfect spot for a finale coffee!

Run the riverfront every Saturday at 9am or volunteer to help keep spirits high.

out a new sport that they might find a love for.

It would have been amazing to have indoor facilities like this when I was young, to have the chance to train all year round in any kind of weather. I’m looking forward to coming along and trying out the new nets.”

An improvised tragedy

You’ve seen an improvised comedy before, right? Where the performers make the show up on the spot, led by prompts from the audience. But can a theatre troupe improvise a tragedy and still make it funny? Here to prove they absolutely can is the cast behind Absurdocles: An Improvised Greek Tragedy. The hour-long show rollercoasters through themes of love, loss, pride and power – and you don’t need to be a classics buff to enjoy it. What’s more, you’ll be invited to steer the narrative, suggesting a ‘nonsensical moral’ to culminate the tale. Woolwich Works, The Fireworks Factory, 11 No 1 Street, Royal Arsenal, London SE18 6HD. July 6, 7pm.

Admission: £8.

Pump It

The Old Royal Naval College’s inaugural music festival Greenwich Summer Sounds is underway and reminding us where the love is as well as telling us to Shut Up while they Get It Started and phunk with our hearts (enough already!) are American hip-hop heroes the Black Eyed Peas. They shot to fame in the early 00s with their third album Elephunk, and since then, band members Fergie and will.i.am (another judge on The Voice!) have also enjoyed successful solo careers. Fergie left the band in 2016, but Los Angeles trio will.i.am, Apl. de.Ap and Taboo are still tight-knit, bringing their Grammy-winning music to the quaint pastures of Greenwich. The group has built a reputation for constantly reinventing themselves to stay relevant in a shifting musical landscape. As well performing the hits that made them famous around the world, the group will likely be playing tracks from their ninth studio album Translation, which features collaborations with Shakira and David Guetta. Greenwich Summer Sounds, Old Royal Naval College, King William Walk, London SE10 9NN. July 4 - 8, 9pm.

Admission: £60.50+. www.ornc.org/whats-on/greenwich-summer-sounds/

An operatic Frankenstein at Blackheath Halls

The production is being directed by John Ramster, with Jonathan Tilbrook conducting, Louis Carver in charge of the design and Anthony Arblaster overseeing the lighting. If you’re hoping to see someone you know performing in the show, be sure to check which cast they belong to: the Shelley cast are performing the show on Thursday July 6 (7:30pm) and Saturday July 8 (2:30pm), while the Larsen cast are taking to the stage on Friday July 7 and Saturday July 8 (both performances at 7:30pm).

Need a plot refresher? The story follows a medical student, Victor Frankenstein, who against the advice of his loved ones, sets about creating new life by sewing together body parts of the deceased and using electricity and alchemy to bring his creation to life. Enter the green-headed, neck-bolted villain of many interpretations of the tale. Only the thing is: Frankenstein’s monster wasn’t born evil, he became evil after he was rejected by his creator, who felt repelled by his appearance, leading to the book’s important questions about prejudice against those who are different, and man versus nature.

Speaking to the Weekender

It’s an age-old story, but with technology advancing all the time, its message about the need to take care of, and responsibility for, our creations has never been more relevant: Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein, adapted into an opera by Libby Larsen under its full name: Frankenstein, Or The Modern Prometheus, is the latest production to come to Blackheath Halls, performed by two casts comprised by students from Trinity Laban Conservatoire, writes Holly O’Mahony…

about the staging of the show, director John Ramster reveals:

“We’re in a very stern, weirdly contemporary, industrial space, designed by Louis Carver, a place of harsh lighting (by Anthony Arblaster) and dark shadows, but the costumes are all in period, so something is out of kilter from the beginning … and the creation of the Monster is through the harnessing of a lightning storm, the classic gothic horror scene.

“The Monster is also seen in a remarkable instrumental passage learning how to be human, learning about the world, learning how to communicate and yearning to be loved – as with all human

souls. We have an epic emotional landscape here: Life, Love, Family and Death – all the big themes of drama and especially opera.”

As for why the opera was the right fit for the students, Jennifer Hamilton, Head of Vocal Studies at Trinity Laban, comments: “I believe the opera has impact because the quality of the composition is dramatic and highly emotionally expressive. This in turn gives our students the opportunities to showcase their different artistic strengths and vocal resources.

The opera fits neatly with Trinity Laban’s ongoing pledge to celebrate female composers, too.

“The opera Frankenstein is the brain-child of a superb female author and female composer. It’s a story many people know - and as there is a lively debate current today in the media about the pros and cons of Artificial Intelligence, I believe that this story is a precursor of that debate and sheds a new and interesting light on it,” Jennifer adds.

John agrees: “I can’t wait for the public to discover this exciting modern opera by Libby Larsen, receiving its first UK performances.”

As for what makes the story of Frankenstein such a timeless tale, John has several thoughts. “I think it’s

an opera about notions of normality and monstrosity – issues impacting our society all the time [where we have] different groups targeted and excluded,” he explains. “A being who appears to be totally different to everyone else has in fact the same emotions and drives, who longs for kindness and companionship. In the novel, Mary Shelley has immense sympathy for her monster, sees in him the birth of a human into a state of grace who is twisted and provoked to violent and ironic vengeance on his creator. [It’s] as if to say, ‘You gave me life then rejected me – so I shall bring death to those you love, and then we shall both be equally alone’.

“The monster devises the perfect punishment for his creator Victor Frankenstein, all brilliantly described in words and music by Libby Larsen, a living American composer whose operas are now getting the recognition they deserve.”

Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus is showing at Blackheath Halls, 23 Lee Road, Blackheath, London SE3 9RQ. July 6, 7:30pm.

Admission: £15/£10 concessions.

CACT’s impact on local community measured as over £49 million

A new report has shown that across Charlton Athletic Community Trust’s (CACT) programmes in South East London and Kent, a social value of £49,609,000 has been generated. This means that for every £1 the charity invests in a one-year period, £9.52 is created.

Social value refers to the financial and non-financial value created by an organisation through its daily activities and their impact on the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of individuals in a geographical area.

The study has been independently verified by the University of Greenwich.

An independent charity since 2003, CACT’s work and its impact has grown year on year, and it now works with over 25,000 participants annually.

CACT has identified three core outcomes which underpin its work in the community:

Improved physical and mental health and wellbeing

Improved access to education and employment

Increased community and social cohesion

CACT runs more than 65 programmes

which help achieve these outcomes.

Programmes which help to improve the physical and mental health and wellbeing of individuals locally include the Live Well Greenwich service

CACT is commissioned by Royal Borough of Greenwich to deliver. This service offers signposting and support to get residents the help they need to improve their health.

The programmes work on a referral basis and in 2021-2022, CACT received 10,706 referrals into the service. In response to the rising cost of living, 1,835 families were referred for food support. Live Well helps improve Royal Greenwich residents’ health and wellbeing through CACT’s own services, but also signposts individuals to partner organisations (such as employment agencies or housing support) to get them the support they need.

Community work at Charlton Athletic began as football sessions back in 1992, and sport remains an important

part of CACT’s work to this day, including new sessions to engage more female participants in football.

The Football and Sports Development department has engaged over 5,000 participants, with all Premier League

Primary Stars students reporting improved confidence and 94% reporting improved physical wellbeing.

To read CACT’s latest Impact Report, please visit: cact.org.uk/impact

CACT’s vital work across South East London and Kent wouldn’t be possible without voluntary donations. To help support CACT’s work and set up a regular donation, visit: cact.gives/donate

Since 2017 when the last organisation-wide Impact Report was published, CACT’s social value has increased by over £15 million.

Montague Burton: ‘Tailor of taste’

So, this week we are again back to an entry in the Industrial Archaeology of South-East London. This time it’s about a store in Greenwich’s Nelson Road. I was very doubtful about doing it, partly because I am far from sure that shops are part of my ’industrial’ remit, and also because I once had a small book about this chain of shops – Burton’s - and it managed to make them seem not very exciting. However I looked at a lot of websites - and there are very, very many about Burton’s. There is even an academic book on the firm for sale at an absolutely extraordinary price. A lot of it was more interesting than I had thought, so perhaps I should stick with it and do this shop this week.

So what does SELIA have to say about Greenwich Burton’s? “Gentlemen’s Outfitters. The store is typical of those opened in large numbers by Montague Burton ‘Tailor of Taste’ in the interwar period. This particular branch sports the unusual feature of elephant head decoration at high level. It was opened in 1932. Following Mr. Burton’s policy a temperance billiard hall was opened on the first floor.”

I discovered that the shop is also ‘locally listed’ by the Council. Their entry says: “13 and 14 Nelson Road. Built 1932 (foundation stone laid by Raymond Montague Burton). 3-storey stone faced building, shop on ground floor, residential over, in the inter-war ‘Moderne’ style. A good example of its style though disrupting the classic regularity of Nelson Road.”

That piece from the council’s listing note may be the most significant. –‘disrupting the classic regularity of Nelson Road’. I understand objections have been raised at various times, including when it was first built, because it has removed one of the original buildings from the ‘classical’ layout of central Greenwich in the early 1830s - a development by Joseph Kaye for the Royal Hospital, the site owners. The new shops built then were

‘larger, well-lit and contained superior accommodation above... to provide goods and services to the growing middle class customers needing and expecting both delivery and credit”.

Neil Rhind comments in his article on the Kaye development for the Greenwich Historical Society that: “dreadful damage has been done to one corner in 1932 by Montague Burton and subsequent cafe proprietors his (Kaye’s) scheme remains to delight and we trust will last well into the millennium.

I don’t know what stood there the 100 years before the Burton’s building was added there in the 1930s. It is noticeable that in street directories covering Nelson Road (also called Nelson Street) number 13 often does not appear in directories. In the later months of the 1890s it was a butcher shop. Earlier there are reports of it being used by builders and there is a minute, dating from 1873, from the Metropolitan Board of Works that they licenced the storage of petroleum there. It may be that the building had been badly treated and needed replacement. I have been told by someone with ‘a half memory … that it was structurally

Mary Mills

unsound and had to be pulled down’.

Burton’s Shops all have regular signage attributing them to Montague Burton. However the story begins in 1900 with the arrival at Hull of a penniless immigrant from Lithuania - Meshe David Osinsky, aged around 15. He began as a peddler selling items of men’s clothing. After a couple of years he had a small shop in Chesterfield, selling readymade garments to working men, but soon began offering madeto-measure gentlemen’s suits and other items and opened a workshop where they could be made. In 1909 he married and by 1914 had 14 shops. In 1916 he secured a contract to supply uniforms to the army and he later had contracts for ‘demob suits’ –all items which could be made in bulk. In 1919 he had 36 shops and changed his name to Montague Maurice Burton.

In the late 20th century Burton’s were one of the biggest companies not just in Britain but in the world- the largest chain of tailors shops in the world.

Most Burton shops were made to look distinctive. The firm developed an in-house architects department under an architect from Leeds, Harry Wilson. It has not been easy to find anything about him in lists of British architects - which is remarkable seeing the effect his work had on numerous British High Streets.

Wilson was to remain in post until the mid-1930s and in 1937 was replaced by Nathanial Martin, who

ran it until the 1950s. If possible they used corner sites and many sites which were got cheaply because there was a problem – which Burtons would often be able to solve. They maintained their own Shopfitting and Building departments. Normally stores were built either by local builders or by one of a stable of contractors maintained by Harry Wilson’s architect’s department.

Frontages were often clad with an artificial stone - Empire Stone. This was made by a company based in the small town of Narborough, Leicestershire. There is an interesting history of the development of artificial stone but I don’t know where they come in that history. They describe their product as ‘a sort of concrete’ but it was rather more than that.

I am aware that artificial stone made in the 19th century on the Greenwich Peninsula had a complex mix of ingredients and methods of production. Empire Stone seems to have had a quarry but I have not found out what was done with the stone - the recipe – used for the Burton frontages.

Burton clearly had an interest in architects and I am very impressed that in 1937 in Worlsey near Manchester, one of their factories was co-designed with the elite Wallis Gilbert partnership. This was a ‘garden factory’ and named as ‘Burtonville Clothing Works’. Of course, Burton properties were not just shops; they had several large factories where

the clothes were actually made.

In order to attract the right customers Burton’s began a programme of installing snooker halls above their shops so that many might enjoy the benefits of misspent youth – and look in Burton’s windows every time they did so . These billiard halls were, however, temperance based and alcohol free.

Generally Burton’s shops were designed to a uniform style in respect of window displays and in the style of lettering on plaques in their shops. They also conformed to a norm inside where a relatively small space was needed for sales –customers would be measured for suits to arrive later from a factory.

There were of course other Burton’s shops within Greenwich Borough besides the one in Eltham Road. The Eltham shop was on the corner of Well Hall Road and in red brick rather than concrete. Woolwich has had a number of Burton’s shops since 1922. Two original shops survive in other use and there are of course current sales outlets in Woolwich centre and elsewhere. A shop opened in 1922 at number 60, which is now Marks & Spencer’s, the other – which survives as a café - was on the corner of Hare Street and Church Street. The two Woolwich Burton’s were built by Edge – a local builder based in Woolwich Church Street (I intend to write them up here sometime). Another shop at a Deptford Bridge is extremely

near the borough’s boundary. Although Eltham Burtons was built at around the same time as the Greenwich one, it was in a totally different style. It is now a McDonald’s burger café, but there is still a snooker club on the first floor although it is not one which was originally there. For while studio space above the Eltham shop was a dance studio and in 1987 used by Len Goodman of Strictly Come Dancing. There was also a bingo club there for a while.

The Greenwich store is notable for the decorations with elephant’s heads –thought they are also used on other Burton’s shops elsewhere. One website has produced a handy guide to shops with elephant head decoration. They identify 11 Burton shops with elephant heads on them all of them built in 1933. For most elephant heads Halifax wins with eighteen. At the other end of the scale Belfast, Cardiff and Swansea have just two each. Greenwich with 10 is about in the middle of the range. A friend tells me she has organised walks around Greenwich town centre and one question is always “how many elephants’ heads can you see?”.

The first floor was supposed to be used for a temperance billiard hall. And I have an advertisement from 1933 which advertises the first floor for rent. “To Let. Large upper floor. Spacious entrance. Suitable for social club, billiard hall. or dance hall; moderate rent.—APPLY. Montague

Burton, Ltd., 13-14, Nelson-street. Greenwich .” I am not sure if it was ever used as a club and today I think is a law firm with offices on the first floor of the Greenwich building

The Greenwich store has memorial plaques about opening ceremonies by Stanley Howard Burton and Barbara Jesse Burton – Montague’s children. Stanley would have been just 20 in 1934, although he had been opening shops from at least the age of 14. Barbara was a few years older. Greenwich also has still retained mosaic tiled entrance with the Burton’s logo. I wonder how it is that these have been kept? Is it likely that the various café companies – Café Sol and now Bill’s - would want to keep them? Or is at the insistence of Greenwich Council or maybe even Greenwich Hospital Estates. Whoever it is, perhaps we should say ‘Thank you’.

And... anyone who is really keen on the Greenwich Burton’s is able to make their own one by buying a model kit from a website. I am not going to give their web address – but good luck with it. In the Illustration they have put an Odeon cinema next door which – if it had ever been real would upset the devotees of Kaye’s development even more!.

planning changes to transport for children and young people with SEND

We’re

The Royal Borough of Greenwich wants to promote greater independence for children and young people with

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and make it easier for young people to travel around the borough and beyond.

The Council also wants to give more flexibility and choice to parents, carers and families. The proposals would make Personal Travel Assistance Budgets (PTABs) more generous and

easier to access for families, giving them freedom to do what is best for their young person. Have your say on the proposed changes: royalgreenwich.gov. uk/send-travel-assistance
