Greenwich & Lewisham Weekender - July 26th 2023

A greener approach to parking in Royal Greenwich

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is making changes to our parking charges and permits to protect the environment as part of our commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030.

Charges will be based on your vehicle’s carbon dioxide emissions, to encourage our residents and businesses to drive more environmentally friendly vehicles. Low emission vehicles will be charged less than those with higher emissions.

Pay and display parking rates will vary based on location. Customers using the PayByPhone mobile app can get discounts of up to 65%, depending on the emissions of their DVLA registered vehicle.

Local permits for resident and businesses, including new applications and renewals, will be charged based on the 13 bandings outlined in the new system. Depending on the banding, residents will be offered discounts of up to 80% for the least polluting vehicles. If more than one vehicle is registered at the same address, a £100 surcharge will be applied for each additional vehicle.

All diesel vehicles will need to pay a £50 surcharge.

Research shines a light on impact of air pollution on heart health

Poor air quality is the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK. But while the effects of air pollution on the lungs have been known for more than half a century, researchers are now seeing the range of its impact on heart health.

Dr Mark Miller, a research scientist funded by the British Heart Foundation, said: “A lot of people think that what comes out of a vehicle exhaust is just soot, but it is not, it is actually hundreds of thousands of different chemicals, many of which are likely to be harmful to the body.”

We now know that some of the smallest particles, called ultra-fine particles, can enter the bloodstream and travel around the body, he said.

Thanks to funding from the British Heart Foundation, Dr Miller has focused on how breathed-in particles contribute to cardiovascular disease.

The effects of air pollution can include stopping blood vessels relaxing and contracting, as well as increasing blood pressure, which affects the flow of blood around the body.

Air pollution can also increase the risk of blood clots, alter the rhythm of the heart and make the heart more susceptible to damage from blocked arteries.

Dr Miller stresses that even short exposure to air pollution can cause these to happen in healthy people. Long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide, another pollutant from vehicle emissions, is linked to cardiovascular disease.

According to Dr Miller, there are ways to limit your exposure to air pollution.

If you’re walking or cycling, alter your journey to avoid

busy roads or travel at quieter times if you can, for example. But the measures individuals can take to avoid polluted air are limited which make reducing

Dr Mark Miller, British Heart Foundation-funded scientist researching the effects of air pollution

the amount of air pollution so important – and that is why the British Heart Foundation supports the expansion of the ULEZ and similar measures.

About the ULEZ expansion

n From 29 August 2023, the ULEZ will be expanded to create one single zone across all London boroughs, to help clear London’s air and improve health.

n 9 out of 10 cars seen driving

in outer London on an average day meet the ULEZ standards, so their drivers will not need to pay the charge.

n But, if you’re one of the few who drive a petrol vehicle over 16 years old or a diesel

vehicle over 6 years old you need to check if you’re affected.

Strictly’s Craig Revel Horwood on returning to the stage in Annie

He’s been a choreographer and judge on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing since its inception 20 years ago, but Craig Revel Horwood is also a performer in his own right, writes Holly O’Mahony…

He starred in the original, Olivierwinning production of Crazy for You in 1993, and has further West End notches on his belt thanks to stints in Cats and Miss Saigon. In 2015, he took the part of corrupt orphanage owner Miss Hannigan in Michael Harrison and David Ian’s production of Annie – the 1930s-set musical about a New York orphan who dreams of finding a better life.

He has reprised the role of Miss Hannigan several times since then, both on tour and in the West End. In his own words, he’s “deeply in love with her”, which is why he’s back in her wig and heels this summer.

With Annie coming to Bromley’s Churchill Theatre this week, here’s Craig on his life-long love of musical theatre, the challenges of working with children and how he switches off in his downtime…

You’re known in homes across the UK as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, but you’re also a performer. How do you find bringing

characters to life on stage?

Well, I grew up on musicals. I did West Side Story in Australia and then went into Me and My Girl and La Cage Aux Folles. I joined the famous Lido de Paris and the Moulin Rouge and then that led into being part of West End shows. The last musical I appeared in on the West End was Crazy For You which opened in 1993. I then left to become a director and choreographer, and subsequently a judge on Strictly. My first hoorah back onto the boards was when I was asked to do panto over ten years ago, and that reignited my passion for performing. When I was then asked to do Annie [for

the 2015 tour] I couldn’t believe it, and I’ve not looked back since! What made you decide to return to Annie for the 2023 tour and what is so appealing about the role of drunk and wicked orphanage owner Miss Hannigan?

I just love this character so much. I am deeply in love with her. I think she is absolutely fantastic and an extremely misunderstood woman. Playing her is like an actor’s playground, she is a tyrant and a villain, and those are always the most fun characters to play. I couldn’t believe that they wanted me to play Miss Hannigan at first, but I thought it would be great, and a real challenge for me. I play her for real – she’s not a pantomime dame, there’s no mucking about or breaking the fourth wall, she’s a very real character in a beautifully written show.

There’s a lengthy hair and makeup ritual that transforms you into Miss Hannigan, which you’ve posted on social media in the past. But are there any particular challenges to playing her?

Well the challenges are that you need to be honest and real with it. Obviously, body language has a lot to do with that, how she speaks, and the accent of course – which I spent months perfecting. As Annie is set in 1930s New York, it’s really nice to play a part who speaks differently than almost anyone does these days.

It’s long been said never work with children or animals, but in Annie you do both! How are you coping?

We have several sets of children performing in Annie, and they bring something really organic to the show. You’ll never get the same show twice. You have to play it differently with each set of children, and they are so talented and doing incredible work on the stage and are all fantastic young actors. They will come up with stuff and you’ve got to react to it live on stage which is a bit of a challenge!

What was your first experience of musical theatre?

The first show that I ever went to see was Jesus Christ Superstar in Sydney back in the 1970s. I just fell in love with theatre right there and then. I started training when I was 14, and when I saw Cats in London around the same time, I knew that was absolutely what I wanted to do.

How

do you find being on tour?

I enjoy the difference in the theatres, the public and their relationships with the stage which always change. You find audiences differ around the country and that’s what is so great about live theatre. Do you have any ‘must-have’ items you take with you?

Eyelashes and eyelash glue.

What does relaxing look like to you?

I like sleeping in my own bed and cooking in my own home. There’s nothing better to pass the time – whether to test and make up some new recipes or really get stuck into cooking something. I love it, I could cook for days on end.

Have you ever been given a piece of advice, or some words of wisdom that have stuck with you?

My teacher used to say, “you need to be like

a tiger and fearless”, which is of course very apt for this industry. You must be prepared to fail, and as soon as you get used to that you start learning. Personally, I feel that listening to your inner voice is the most important thing, especially when making decisions in this industry. I don’t often rule with my head; I rule with my heart.

Annie is coming to the Churchill Theatre, High Street, Bromley BR1 1HA. July 24 - 29, 7:30pm. Admission: £30.50/concessions available. www.churchilltheatre.co.uk/Online/ tickets-annie-the-musical-bromley-2023

n Whatever role you choose in the NHS you can be assured that you will be well rewarded and supported.

Case study: Adrian

And I said I’d love to. My first job was as a support worker and I was so happy and couldn’t wait for my shifts.

“One day I was chatting to a district nurse who saw how I’d helped a service user to communicate and she asked me if I’d ever thought about a career in nursing. I’d never even considered it, but it planted a seed and I started to look into what I needed to do to become a nurse. Initially, I didn’t think it would be an option for me because I really struggled at school and left with no qualifications.

“But the seed was still there and I went on to do an NVQ in health and social care and applied to Northumbria University to study registered nursing for learning disabilities. At the time, I was 40 and university was a shock to the system, not just academically, but I didn’t even know how to use a computer. By the second year I loved university and going into nursing has changed my life for the better, helping me learn about myself and how to be more disciplined and focused.

“I know it’s an old cliché, but no two days are ever the same. Sometimes the job is really challenging, but I’m well supported by working in a team. We all have our ups and downs, but we always focus on the end goal, which is improving people’s quality of life.

“Day to day, there’s lots of diary planning, phone calls and meetings with patients, their families and carers as well as multi-disciplinary meetings. I love getting out and about, doing nursing assessments and the best part is making sure everyone works together and developing plans with patients, their family and carers. Making them feel valued has always been really important to me. Nursing is a job for life, if you want it to be. There are so many different opportunities and routes you can go down and lots of courses you can do while you’re working and getting paid. I try not to think about my pension, but I do know the NHS scheme is one of the best around. I’ve never felt so secure in a job – I love it and I’m passionate about what I do.”

Inside the Carriage Store

Mary Mills

“One of the largest planned groups of engineering workshops of its period in the world, also illustrative of the scale of cannon making in the Napoleonic Wars.” So says the entry on the Grade II listing on the site which I will be looking at this week taken from the Industrial Archaeology of South East London. This is the ‘Carriage Store’ in the Royal Arsenal. The entry in SELIA says: “This long two-storey building c1728 but fire damaged in 1802, originally housed the gun carriages.

Now, happily, that SELIA entry makes clear one thing which I thought I ought to explain. It is often described as a “carriage store”. Now that could mean a sort of garage for horsedrawn conveyances for posh people, but no, it means ‘gun carriages’ - the framework that guns were mounted on in order to move them about and then to use them. By ‘guns’ of course they mean ‘cannon; – “a large, heavy piece of artillery, typically mounted on wheels, formerly used in warfare”. I don’t know why it is called ‘store’ because it was clearly a factory, not a warehouse, a place where the carriages to hold the cannon were made.

In my mind there are a whole lot of questions about how this manufacture was organised – was each carriage made for its own particular gun, or were they all the same? I have a feeling though that I’m never going to get an answer. The

little we know about the Arsenal is mainly about those buildings we can see there now and their architecture - not about how the Arsenal was organised as a workplace.

About gun carriages I should perhaps also note that Royal funerals and the like, in any procession use a gun carriage to carry the important person’s coffin. I understand that the current Royal Gun Carriage was not made in the Arsenal, but by Vickers. It is in store - so somewhere there is such a thing as a ‘Carriage Store’ where it is not alone, because I understand it is Number 146.

Now the other thing is that I think it very unlikely that any of the people that wrote SELIA in 1982 had ever been on the Arsenal site or seen the buildings they were describing. Back then no one ever got onto the Arsenal site just to see things – there was the Official Secrets Act sign for a start.

Somebody who wrote about Arsenal Buildings was Darrel Spurgeon, whose book ‘Discover Woolwich and its Environs’ described buildings in the Arsenal, including the Royal Carriage Store. Darrel published this in 1989, seven

years after SELIA, and said that the Arsenal site was not accessible. He told his readers about a place where you could peer through the fence from the road and see some of the buildings.

So what does Darrel say about the gun carriage store? “Royal Carriage Factory where gun carriages were manufactured. This massive building with its great shed like roof was originally built in 1728 but it has been very extensively altered and enlarged, particularly since 1850. The impressive symmetrical North Front with his arches and cupola was added by James Wyatt after a fire in 1802”.

Thirteen years later, in 2002, it was possible to get onto the site. I arranged a meeting there for the Gunpowder Mills Study Group and I remember it was all very difficult and

there were no facilities whatsoever on site, not even any toilets. But we did get to see inside. Around the same time I arranged a visit for GLIAS members and two women who went to the wrong gatehouse were marched across the site with a military escort.

In order make sure that I had got everything right I contacted our Arsenal historical expert, Ian Bull, and asked which building exactly he thought SELIA was referring to. Here is what he said: ”That’s a difficult question because four buildings were called ’The Carriage Store’. The first was built in 1683, one of the earliest of Arsenal buildings, and is long gone. The second was constructed in 1728 and had gone by the mid 19C. The third, and the one I suspect you’re interested in, of 1802/05, is better known as the Royal Carriage Department and in part

it survives as the present ‘Building 10’. He recommends that I look at the Survey of Woolwich. It seems amazing with so little access that something as erudite as the Survey of Woolwich was published only 10 years after my gunpowder study mills visit.

The Survey tells us that the carriage sheds had been built in the late 17thC on a site which was later used as an orchard. In the 1720s a New Carriage yard was built as a single-storey brick building with overhead travelling cranes. This was expanded in 1770s with smiths and carpenters shops. This was destroyed by fire in 1802 and the site was cleared.

With a growing demand for gun carriages the Royal Carriage Department was formed and Carriage Square was rebuilt with 22 workshops in 1805. This manufacturing complex was very large and well-ordered – it is said to have had a layout like a model farm. It included a foundry – probably the world’s largest in the early 19th century - but the majority of the work there was done with wood.

The central elevation had a turret with a clock made by Thwaites of Clerkenwell and bells by Mears of Whitechapel. The clock was driven by weights which fell into a waterlogged well. The clock is still up there but electric. It is said that the ‘well’ remains and so do the, now disconnected, bells.

It was here in the Carriage Factory that steam power was first used for manufacturing in the Arsenal and a Joseph Bramah engine and planing machine were installed in 1805. Bramah was a prolific inventor, best known for his locks, and with a manufacturing works in Pimlico. The young Woolwich born Henry Maudslay was recruited by Bramah from the Arsenal, where he worked as a boy. Later he was Bramah’s manager there before leaving to set up independently for his brilliant career as leading and innovative engineer.

A sawmill was installed for the Carriage Works at a site at Frog Island on the Arsenal Canal. The mill had been designed by Marc Brunel in 1808 – Marc was, of course, the father of the better known Isambard Kingdom Brunel. A French immigrant, he had installed his revolutionary machinery, most notably, at Plymouth Dockyard. His installation at the Arsenal was designed to deal with large timbers and he claimed that no other sawmill could handle what had been done here - it was said to save £10,000 a year in labour.

By the 1850s there were single-storey workshops for wheelwrights and carpenters and in the yard there were three large smitheries each with 12 forges flanked with anvils. In the carriage factory a scrap forge installed in 1848 had the Arsenal’s first steam hammers. Another steam engine was installed in the 1850s and there were new workshops for fitters and metalworkers and more carpenters shops. Two reverberatory furnaces and a large compass saw for circulatory cutting

were added in 1871. There were eventually steam engines in all four corners of the main quadrangle plus a big octagonal chimney.

Some of the walls of these buildings survived into the 21st century and some of Wyatt’s designs of 1803 remain, but most was drastically altered as it was continually rebuilt as new equipment was installed. Gradually the avenues were covered over and new buildings erected. The smitheries area became a very large machine room with a very large lathe with a turning circle of 27 feet diameter. In the 1920s the heavy machine shop worked on guns up to a 12 inch calibre. A special roof structure was designed which covered the former central courtyard protected the area and its machinery.

After the Second World War steam turbine sets were made here for Metropolitan Vickers – some of which are preserved, apparently in the Canary Islands. To make the beds for these a very large planing machine was installed which necessitated structural changes to some walls - I am told it ‘commanded respect’.

So what has happened to this complex site? It is now called ‘The Armouries’ and it was rebuilt again by Berkeley Homes in 2007. There are modern blocks of flats called ‘Building 10’ which rise above the older building and seem almost to grow out of them. A route through the site is called ‘Royal Carriage Mews’ and is lined with ‘townhouses’. The complex includes a supermarket, gym and medical centre and there is an energy centre with a gas-fired plant. Despite these changes the frontage of the old buildings onto Major Draper Road looks remarkably impressive and contains the concierge’s office. Round the corner another entrance, also impressive, takes us into Tesco.

So now the ‘Carriage Store’ ‘nestles neatly in the vibrant south east corner of Royal Arsenal Riverside’ – ‘a bustling new neighbourhood’. I’m very impressed that the advertised monthly cost of leasing one of the units in this complex is not much less than we paid for a three bed terraced house in the 1960s. I could quote the sales literature for these Woolwich flats at length. ‘Old carriage works used to store heavy artillery during World War 1’ ….; a wonderful expression of modern architecture as a design-led centrepiece’.

But I think I am running out of space here.

Thanks to Steve Peterson, Ian Bull (who says he owes what he knows to the late Ray Fordham), also – belated thanks to (now retired) Greenwich Council Project Officer, Mike Neill, for his help with my 2002 on-site seminar.
