Greenwich & Lewisham Weekender - August 23rd 2023

Don’t miss out on support once school starts

Summer doesn’t last forever and it is already nearly time to start thinking about school again!

Thanks to the Mayor of London, this year, for the first time all primary school children will be able to receive free school meals, so there’s no need to worry about packed lunches come September.

Schools will be contacting parents with more information soon.

But that's not all the support that is on offer, so remember to register your child for free school meals to avoid missing out on other amazing benefits throughout the year.

Councillor Matt Morrow, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “If you don’t register for free school meals you could lose out on support like extra cash for essentials or Holiday Food and Fun, which provides free holiday club places for eligible children.

“There’s so much we can help with, but we can’t unless you’re signed up, so remember to check whether you qualify and sign up before the new term.”

When you sign up for free school meals you get:

Access to free holiday club places

Extra cash for essentials during the holidays

Money for school uniforms

When your child registers for free school meals your school gets extra funding from the Government too, which can go towards extra tuition, learning assistants and after-school activities.

It’s one of Our Greenwich missions to make sure that every child reaches their potential, so we’re working with our local schools to make sure no family misses out on extra support.

They’re going to need your help to make this colourful celebration come to fruition though, so bring your best art skills to Woolwich Tramshed, where an afternoon of costume and prop making awaits.

Roof-raising percussion at The Albany

All-female, non-binary percussion and vocal group Baque Luar are bringing their music home to south-east London, staging a concert at the Albany in celebration of their debut record, Brilha (meaning to shine or flourish). The group’s music is a vibrant, worldly fusion of soundscapes nodding to the traditions of maracatu, coco, bumba meu boi, the rhythms of Brazilian Candomblé, and more. Supporting them is Portuguese multi-instrumentalist and singer Inês Loubet.

The Albany, Douglas Way, London SE8 4AG. August 25, 7:30pm10:30pm. Admission: £12. www.thealbany.org.uk/shows/ baque-luar/

Horrible Histories live on stage

Whether or not you’ve read the books, watched the TV show or seen an adaptation of the grisly stories on stage, you’re probably familiar with Horrible Histories. The ‘educational entertainment franchise’ began life as a book series in the 1990s, but it’s been churning out stage shows for 18 years with the help of Birmingham Stage Company. The latest instalment, Barmy Britain – Part Five!, returns to haunt Bromley’s Churchill Theatre this Sunday, taking audiences on a whirlwind tour of some of Britain’s most spine-tingling moments, from a battling Boudicca to an axe-happy Henry VIII via Guy Fawkes and his ill-fated plot to blow up parliament.

Churchill Theatre, High Street, Bromley BR1 1HA. August 27, 1:30pm & 4:30pm. Admission: £22/£20 under 14s. www.churchilltheatre.co.uk/Online/tickets-horrible-histories-bromley-2023

Jazz in the woods

In the wooded grounds surrounding fairy-lit Severndroog Castle, audiences are being serenaded by vintage jazz singer Jessica DeGiudici. The lead singer of the vintage swing and jazz band The Red Hot Rags, Jessica grew up in Italy but has firmly cemented herself in London’s gig scene, performing at a number of prestigious heritage sites including the Science Museum and the Barbican Centre. Stock up on drinks and snacks at the bar, and take a seat for the chance to watch a concert in the middle of the woods. Visitors will also have after-hours access to the castle and its viewing platform, which boasts 360-degree views of London.

Severndroog Castle, Severndroog Castle Castle Wood, Shooters Hill, London SE18 3RT. August 25, 6:30pm - 10pm. Admission: £8.83+ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ severndroog-summer-lates-2023-vintage-jazz-swingtickets-636503417857

Step into a life of finery by enjoying afternoon tea on the Colonnades outside the Old Royal Naval College. Tuck into a quaint array of finger sandwiches, homemade scones with clotted cream and miniature cakes, while overlooking views of the Queen’s House and the Water Gates. And for sipping daintily? Your choice of tea and a glass of bubbles (prosecco and Champagne both available), or a milkshake for little visitors. It’s no surprise, really, that this seasonal event is a favourite in the college’s summer programme.

Old Royal Naval College, King William Walk, London SE10 9NN. August 27, 12pm - 5pm. Admission: £42.

Farewell from the bandstand

Turn out for a final weekend of concerts on Greenwich Park Bandstand. On Sunday 27, Greenwich’s own concert band is playing, and audiences can expect a gloriously brassy affair. Then on Bank Holiday Monday, the final concert of the summer series sees the six-strong Great Cross Country Band return to the pop-up stage. They’ll be performing more familiar covers of hits by Neil Young, the Eagles and other Americana legends.

Greenwich Park Bandstand, Great Cross Avenue, London SE10 8EJ. August 27 and 28, 3pm - 5pm. Admission: FREE. www.friendsofgreenwichpark.org. uk/Events/Coming-Events/

Oh Boy! The Buddy Holly Story brings rock ‘n’ roll to the Churchill

One of the first jukebox musicals, the show opened in 1989 and in the intervening years, has played over 10,000 performances between its runs on the West End (where it was a permanent fixture for 12 years), on Broadway and around the world.

Written by Alan Janes and directed by Matt Salisbury, it tells the story of the singer’s meteoric rise to fame, from his ‘rockabilly’ beginnings in Texas to becoming an international superstar. In his short life, he wrote some of rock and roll’s greatest hits – ‘That’ll Be The Day’, ‘La Bamba’ and ‘Peggy Sue’ among them – which he performed with his band, The Crickets.

Since the show first opened, 27 actors have played the title role of Buddy.

Christopher Weeks, who currently shares the part with AJ Jenks, tells the press what it’s like impersonating one of the most revered musical artists of all time, night after night.

First up, from a show with 17 songs in it, does he have a favourite? “I love ‘That’ll Be The Day’. I think it’s still such a cool song to this day. You can tell why it was such a hit when it was released. I also love ‘Raining In My Heart’, it shows the huge journey that Buddy went on in just 18 months. It’s an incredibly mature song and a real contrast to his early work. It has huge depth of feeling, just like the man himself.”

As for a show highlight, for Christopher it’s got to be the moment before the show hit ‘Rave On’. “It’s the final gear change moment for me and all of a sudden we go supersonic!

We finish the previous song and it’s like standing at the top of a diving board…you know what’s coming and there’s huge anticipation!”

It’s been decades since the world lost Buddy Holly in 1959. As such, Christopher feels a degree of responsibility when portraying

the musical legend each night to teach younger audiences about the man behind the music.

“I try to show his passion, his drive and his warmth. Also his quirkiness… he wasn’t a normal guy, hardly a stereotypical rock and roll star, but that didn’t stop him. All of these things together turned him into this quiet revolutionary who changed the world,” he reflects.

Being on the road with the show for months at a time, he says, is “exhausting in a very satisfying way.” What makes it worth it?

“There’s no greater feeling than being on that stage at the height of the show, it’s the most fun you can have and a privilege to play these songs every night.”

When you’re stepping into the shoes of a 1950s rock and roll band night after night, he says, the boundaries between reality and

musical history can sometimes blur. “We often draw the parallels between ourselves and the real life Crickets…at the end of the day, we’re both bands touring the country playing rock and roll every night!”

Want to slip back in time and get swept up in the momentum of a Crickets gig yourself? The show that’s kept the spirit of Buddy Holly alive for the past 34 years is swaggering onto stage at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley this

week, running from Tuesday 22Saturday 26. In the star’s own words, then, ‘that’ll be the day’ to see it.

The Buddy Holly Story is showing at the Churchill Theatre, High Street, Bromley BR1 1HA. August 22 - 26, performances at 7:30pm with additional 2:30pm matinees on Thursdays and Saturdays. Admission: £20+.

It’s been over 30 years since The Buddy Holly Story first resurrected the music of the 1950s rock and roll star who died in a plane crash at the tragically young age of 22, writes Holly O’Mahony

Trust your GP reception team to get the right care for you

n There are now more ways to make an appointment or get help and advice from your GP practice.

n The introduction of over 29,000 new health and care staff means more patients will get the care they need from the right health professional first time, rather than always seeing a GP first.

n These expanded teams work under the supervision and guidance of GPs. This also has the benefit of freeing up more GP appointments for those who really need them, helping to tackle the ‘8am rush’.

n However you get in touch with your practice – by telephone, in person or using a form on the practice website – a member of their specially-trained reception team will ask, in confidence, some questions about your condition.

n These specialists are trained to know about the range of services and health professionals available in your area. The information you give and questions you answer help determine which health professional is best suited to help you, and it may not always be your GP. For example if you have a muscle or joint condition you could be seen by a physiotherapist.

n No matter how you get in touch with your GP practice, you can trust your reception team to get you the right care, from the right health professional.

Vital to direct patient to correct treatment

Lucy from East Yorkshire has worked in the NHS for more than six years and has been a receptionist and administrator at King Street Medical Centre in Cottingham for three years.

Her duties include reception work and being the first point of contact for patients, as well as administrative and secretarial work.

She enrolled in an apprenticeship scheme in 2016 which gave her the experience of working at three different GP Practices.

Lucy said: “This is where I started to build my foundation of administrative skills

Lucy has been a receptionist and administrator at a Cottingham practice for three years

and I came to love and respect the invaluable work of the NHS, in particular the front-facing administration team.” Her first priority is the patients and when answering their calls, she reassures them she is asking questions for good reasons.

ELLIE

It will be third time lucky to celebrate their wedding in style for Ellie and Matthew.

“I like to ask the patient if they are comfortable with it and say it would be really useful if they could share some brief information about what the problem is, as this may help me to direct them to a suitable service,” she said.

to redirect non-urgent queries through digital channels. This leaves the telephone lines available for more time-sensitive calls.”

The North Yorkshire couple have threeyear-old daughter Lola while Ellie, aged 27, is expecting their second child in June. She and Matthew, 28, have been together for eight years. They got

TYING THE KNOT Matthew and Ellie, below, and, left with their 15 Hackness Grange guests.

“For those who are a little more reserved, I inform the patient of our team of highly-skilled healthcare workers who see a wide range of ailments and can prescribe and refer to external organisations. I find this helps the patient to feel confident that their problem is going to be appropriately handled.”

Lucy says her role is invaluable in directing a patient to the right care.

“We understand it can be tiresome waiting to reach a receptionist by telephone, this is all part of the work we are doing

Lucy’s training is also ongoing. “We snap up opportunities to share our skills and knowledge. We had a ‘show and tell’ session where our clinical team each picked a piece of equipment to demonstrate to us. This included blood pressure monitors, spirometry (lung) tests and dermatoscope (skin) imaging.

“This gave us the knowledge and confidence to better explain to patients what their appointment may entail.”

Lucy says her role is rewarding, and added:

“The amazing feedback we get from patients when they have had a positive experience is so uplifting.”

Highlights to catch at the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival (GDIF)

With a first-of-its-kind visual spectacle and gravitydefying dance, a sprinkling of politics and an overarching message of ‘hope’, Greenwich and Docklands International Festival (GDIF) returns for 2023. There will be 35 free events spread across 17 days in total. Here are the highlights to catch this week, writes Holly O’Mahony…

GREENWICH FAIR

WHEN: August 26, 1pm - 7pm

WHERE: Old Royal Naval College, Cutty Sark Gardens and Greenwich Park

Practically a festival within the festival, Greenwich Fair is an annual highlight of GDIF, and this year its back with 15 events spread across the grounds of Old Royal Naval College, Cutty Sark Gardens and Greenwich Park. Expect to see street artists, theatre skits, circus performers and towering dance whichever way you look this Saturday. Highlights come from returning favourite Oliver Macdonald with his Woven O mini venue – a sanctuary of magic and creativity. Another comes from Rodney Bell and Chloe Loftus, whose aerial piece The Air Between Us sees the duo perform a dance in their

wheelchairs high above the ground. Kids should keep their eyes peeled for friendly robot Animaltroniek, and don’t miss the Family Catwalk Extravaganza: a sensory spectacle doubling up as a celebration of self-expression. Fancy getting the heart rate up? Dare yourself to watch Flemish choreographer Piet Van Dycke’s Exit, which sees four performers move around revolving walls and floating doors.

OPEN LINE

WHEN: 25 August, 7pm

WHERE: General Gordon Square, Woolwich, SE18 6AB

Don’t look up! Well, do, but steel yourself, because professional tight-rope walker Tatiana Mosio Bongonga is pacing the sky high

above General Gordon Square in Woolwich, with the help of 12 people from the local community. A fusion of live music, acrobatics and balance. Hold your breath!

WOMEN, LIFE, FREEDOM!

WHEN: 26 August, 8pm

WHERE: Stratford Park, Stratford, E15 4PT

Okay, this one is a tad further away in Stratford, but hear us out because this hotly topical political piece by Ameena Hamid Productions is worth travelling for. It’s essentially a rallying cry about the protests in Iran following the suspicious death-in-custody of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for not wearing the hijab. However it raises a voice for countries all over

the world where human rights are being taken away or diminished. Angry and passionate, yes, but with a message of hope at its core.

ANCIENT FUTURES

WHEN : 27 & 28 August, 2pm & 6pm

WHERE: The Moorings, Thamesmead

Another colourful favourite will likely be this story-led fusion of West African folklore, fantasy and science fiction, dressed as a fluorescent riot and set to new music by the rapper Afrikan Boy. Its characters, aliens called Afrinauts, are bringing ‘a carnival of circus and sound’ to The Moorings in Thamesmead.

ON YOUR DOORSTEP

WHEN: 27, 28 & 31 August

/ 2 September

WHERE: Various

A returning crowd-pleaser, On Your Doorstep will once again bring pockets of the festival deeper into neighbourhoods including Abbey Wood, Deptford, Eltham and Glyndon. Expect a giant toy box of family activities, including interactive installations, street theatre and very silly comedy.

GDIF is taking place at locations across Greenwich and London’s Docklands from August 25 - September 10. Admission: FREE (except for The Architect, check website for ticket prices). www.festival.org/gdif/

How air pollution can affect our unborn children

Babies born to mothers living in areas with increased levels of air pollution in London are more likely to suffer ill health.

Air pollution has been linked to cancer, asthma, stroke and heart disease – and it’s particularly affecting young children, even when they’re in the womb.

Exposure to air pollution can affect a baby growing in the womb in a number of ways, explains Dr Karen Joash, consultant and expert adviser to Global Black Maternal Health, increasing the risks for low birth weight, premature birth, restricted growth and stillbirth.

Pregnancy and early childhood are critical times for

the development of our bodies and the time during which the most rapid changes take place. Air pollution particles can cross through the placenta and have the potential to harm the baby and its developing organs.

As Dr Joash makes clear, this is an issue that affects us all: “We know that some of those communities that are at risk of poor outcomes, such as dying during pregnancy or still birth, live in those most polluted areas.

“If those communities are disproportionately affected, then everyone is affected by this to differing degrees. It affects every pregnant woman if she lives in that environment and it affects every child, no matter the colour of their skin.”

Working towards cleaner air is “absolutely vital”, she said, adding: “The ULEZ expansion is essential: air pollution is preventable, and we need action to address it.

“It is about you living your

The Woolwich Clockhouse

I’ve written articles in the past about buildings on the Dockyard Estate – but perhaps I should remind people that it’s called ‘Dockyard’ because it was built the site of one of the Royal Dockyards set by the Tudors and where the wooden battleships of Nelson’s Navy were built. It’s a site with a history that Woolwich people should be proud of. Clockhouse was part of that.

The building features in both the ‘Industrial Archaeology of South-East London’ and in Darrell Spurgeon’s ‘Discover Woolwich and its Environs’.

The SELIA entry is very short. It says “Superintendent’s offices. These date from the 18th century and now look somewhat dwarfed by new flats’. Now remember that this site is the Royal Dockyard, not secret like the Arsenal which was the ‘Secret City’ a bit down river. But I guess that was before the flats were built there it wasn’t easy to go to and see. However, some local people were involved in an archaeology project on the site in the early 1970s.

So what does Darrell have to say?

“The Clockhouse. Formerly the Admiral Superintendents’ offices now a Community Centre. This is a pleasing building of 1784

“handsome and well-proportioned with a fine ornamental clock tower and two wooden porches on either side of front steps added in the mid-19th century are an unusual feature.. and ……on the ground floor two ceramic tiles showing old cannon; one in the large room to the left and the other in the coffee bar opposite. They were brought here in 1980 from the demolished Clarence Arms pub in Plumstead.”

The Clockhouse was built in the late 18th century and replaced a previous building also called the Clockhouse – which was a timber structure with a tower containing a large clock. The need to have a clock in a central position is to regularise time management within the Dockyard where labour relations were often not easy. It had a large waged workforce, unparalleled at the time, which was also well organised with

constant disputes. It was important to understand ‘time’ and how it was used. I am sure there are people at the Royal Observatory who can go on about this problem at length.

The present ‘Clockhouse’ not only replaced the older building but did so when the dockyard was changing. Throughout the 18th-century Britain had an increasing need of naval vessels and as the Navy became an important national institution so Woolwich Dockyard –like the other dockyards - grew and grew as did their constantly expanding workforce. Originally the Dockyard covered the land north of Woolwich Church Street from what is now the Ferry Approach right along to the gateway opposite the end of Francis Street. You should follow the brick wall along Church Street which was built for the Dockyard and defines where it was. In the late 18th century the Dockyard took over more land which ran from the main gate/Francis Street all the way to the roundabout at Warspite Road. There were plans for a considerable

expansion of work at the Dockyard using this new section. Before this was done it was decided to find a way of joining the old and new sections together, so at the point where the old and new areas met a new entrance was built from Woolwich Church Street – the gateway opposite the end of Francis Street.

The Clockhouse was built in 1783 and designed as the administrative headquarters for the Dockyard. It put the office block at the centre of the enlarged Dockyard and the Survey of Woolwich says it is ‘an almost cubic block that stood in isolation, a beacon of supervision and control’. From its windows all aspects of the dockyard would be seen. The Survey also speculates on who designed it - maybe the Admiralty’s Inspector? Or perhaps maybe the Master Shipwright at Woolwich? It is likely that all the work on it would have been done in house. Construction is likely to have been the responsibility of John Johnson, Master of a staff which included forty-three house carpenters, and fifteen bricklayers.

It housed offices for the yard’s most senior officials, all resident in a ‘handsome row of double-fronted houses’ nearby, built around 1750. At that time the most important men in the Dockyard were the Master Shipwright, the Storekeeper, and the Clerk of the Cheque, the Master Attendant and the Clerk of Survey. Each of them, of course, had a considerable number of subordinate staff. Each department had its own suite of rooms off a central staircase. This staircase was in itself revolutionary in that previously these departments would have had their own front doors.

Clockhouse is sometimes described as the Admiral Superintendents offices. However Woolwich, unlike most other dockyards, did not have an Admiral Superintendent in charge. In the 1780s when Clockhouse was built Woolwich Dockyard was directly under the control of the Navy Board in Central London. Then, from 1806 it was administered by someone with the lower rank of Captain Superintendent.

Woolwich Dockyard finally closed in 1869 and but some parts of the site were sold, The area in which the Clockhouse stands was kept by the War Office - which, we are told, continued to refer to it as ‘Woolwich Dockyard’ or ‘Royal Dockyard’ for the next century. It remained with the Ministry of Defence until 1966, although over the years much of the area of the old Dockyard was sold off. In the 1960s Greenwich Council bought 23 acres and then built the housing estate which now stands around the Clockhouse. As part of this scheme the Clockhouse was largely rebuilt internally in 1977 – 8.

For fifty odd years the building has provided a centre for the Woolwich Dockyard Estate where people can meet and events can take place. Most recently a great café has opened www.clockhousecc.co.uk/

Power to make general vesting declaration

SCHEDULE 2

FORM OF STATEMENT OF EFFECT OF PARTS 2 AND 3 OF THE COMPULSORY PURCHASE (VESTING DECLARATIONS) ACT 1981

1. Once the Royal Borough of Greenwich (Woolwich Exchange) Compulsory Purchase Order 2022 has become operative, the Royal Borough of (“the Council”) may acquire any of the land described in Schedule 1 above by executing a general vesting declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 (“the Act”). This has the effect, subject to paragraphs 3 and 5 below, of vesting the land in the Council at the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2.

Notices concerning general vesting declaration

2. As soon as may be after the Council executes a general vesting declaration, it must serve notice of it on every occupier of any of the land specified in the declaration (except land where there is one of the tenancies described in paragraph 4) and on every person who gives it information relating to the land following the invitation contained in the confirmation notice of the order. When the service of notices of the general vesting declaration is completed, a period specified in the declaration, of not less than three months, will begin to run. On the first day after the end of this period, the land described in the declaration will, subject to what is said in paragraphs 3 and 5, vest in the Council together with the right to enter on the land and take possession of it. Every person on whom the Council could have served a notice to treat in respect of their interest in the land (other than a tenant under one of the tenancies described in paragraph 4) will be entitled to claim compensation for the acquisition of their interest in the land, together with interest on the compensation from the vesting date.

3. The “vesting date” for any land specified in a declaration will be the first day after the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2, unless a counter-notice is served under Schedule A1 to the Act within that period. If a counter-notice is served, the vesting date for the land which is the subject of the counter-notice will be determined in accordance with Schedule A1.

Modifications with respect to certain tenancies

4. In the case of certain tenancies, the position stated above is subject to modifications. The modifications apply where the tenancy is either a “minor tenancy”, i.e. a tenancy for a year or a yearly tenancy or a lesser interest, or “a long tenancy which is about to expire”. “A long tenancy which is about to expire” means a tenancy granted for an interest greater than a minor tenancy but having on the vesting date a period still to run which is not more than the period specified in the declaration for this purpose (which must be more than a year). In calculating how long a tenancy has still to run, where any option to renew or to terminate it is available to either party, it is assumed that the landlord will take every opportunity to terminate the tenancy and the tenant will take every opportunity to retain or renew their interest.

5. The modifications are that the Council may not exercise the right of entry referred to in paragraph 2 in respect of land subject to a tenancy described in paragraph 4 unless it first serves notice to treat in respect of the tenancy and then serves every occupier of the land with a notice of its intention to enter and take possession after the period (which must be not less than three months from the service of the notice) specified in the notice. The right of entry will be exercisable at the end of that period. The vesting of the land will be subject to the tenancy until the end of that period or until the tenancy comes to an end, whichever happens first.
