This September we’re starting work on an exciting range of improvements to make Woolwich town centre’s main market and high street a more vibrant place to live, work and shop.
With nearly £25million in funding backing the project, improvements will take place in:
• Powis Street: giving the street a refresh by removing clutter, installing new paving, planting, public seating, play spaces and better lighting.
• Beresford Square: transforming the market and creating a more flexible and friendly public space with a new urban garden, terraced seating, lighting and an interactive water fountain.
• Market pavilion: a striking new market pavilion building with a café, seating, lush planting, play spaces for children and fully accessible public toilets with a changing places facility.
• Royal Arsenal Gatehouse: reopening the gates of the Grade II listed Gatehouse for the first time in nearly 25 years and lighting the building at night.
Funding has come from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ Future High Street Fund and Historic England’s High Streets Heritage Action Zone, as well as match funding from the Council’s own budget.
Councillor Aidan Smith, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said: “We’ve listened to residents, market traders and businesses and we share their aspirations for the area. Our vision for Beresford Square will create a more defined but flexible and useful public space with new public toilets, café, urban garden and refreshed street market.”
Councillor Mariam Lolavar, Cabinet Member for Inclusive Economy, Business and Skills, said: “Our improvements will reintroduce the historic layout of Beresford Square with a flowing line of market stalls which will free up space for socialising, eating and drinking. We are giving the Old Town Hall a new lease of life to become a high-quality workspace for creative businesses.”
We will be working closely with local businesses and market traders to keep them
updated about the improvements, moving the market to General Gordon Square and Green’s End, so they can continue trading.
Businesses and traders can attend dropin sessions with the Council and its contractors throughout the construction process, to get information and advice.

Another summer of festivities is drawing to a close in Woolwich’s General Gordon Square, but before it does, local community organisation TARU Arts is planning one final parade. They’re going to need your help to make this colourful celebration come to fruition though, so bring your best art skills to Woolwich Works, and try your hand at costume and prop making. Your creations will be used in the final parade on September 16: a celebration of the borough’s diversity featuring music and dance.
Woolwich Works, The Fireworks Factory, 11 No 1 Street, Royal Arsenal, London SE18 6HD. August 29 - September 8, sessions at 10am and 4pm depending on date.
Admission: FREE/booking required. www.woolwich.works/events/ woolwich-carnival-craft-workshops
Part of some cracking summer programming at Woolwich Works, this fun-filled fitness session is here to prove there’s more to yoga than deep breathing and backbends. Bring your mat but come dressed in sequins, spandex, or whatever you’d ordinarily wear our clubbing. You’ll still stretch and flow, only to a soundtrack of hits circa 1970. Disco yoga has a sweet story behind it too: it was founded in 2016 by yoga instructor Sarah Hunt and her pal DJ Darlo, who never would have thought their businesses would be a match for one another until they tried it, and now they want to share their unusual fusion with you.

For London-based culture vultures unafraid of embracing the great outdoors, September signals one thing: Totally Thames. The month-long festival is once again docking at various points along London’s leading river, bringing with it a programme of almost 100 events and a focus on the climate and sustainability. Highlights in Greenwich include an introduction to architect Christopher Wren’s London by boat (September 1), and in Lewisham, audiences can gather around a fire at Creekside and hear folktales about the Thames (September 10).
Running at various locations along the River Thames. September 1 - October 1, admission: varies depending on event. www.thamesfestivaltrust.org/
A feathery, feminist take on Cinderella is Greenwich Theatre’s big summer show this year. While it’s hoping to appeal to visitors of all ages, don’t go expecting a story of a damsel in distress who’s saved by a prince – instead, this Cinderella wears sequinned Dr. Martens and she’s not taking any prisoners. It’s more Brothers Grimm than Disney, and it’s more forest than palace too.
Greenwich Theatre, Crooms Hill, London SE10 8ES. Until September 3, performance times vary.
Admission: £12.50+. www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk/ events/cinderella/

WWI trenches
Cheer on the amateur performers of New Eltham Community Productions as they head into the trenches of WWI with RC Sherriff’s esteemed play Journey’s End. Set in 1917, the three-act show tells the story of a group of soldiers on the front line in the lead up to a large-scale attack from German troops.
The Centre, New Eltham Methodist Church, 435-439 Footscray Road, New Eltham, London, SE9 3UL. September 1, 7:30pm; September 2, 2:30pm & 7:30pm. Admission: £10. www.necp.org.uk/book-tickets
Local radio station, bar and record label AAJA Deptford has hit two important milestones this year. The communityfocused station, which plays everything from electronic and rock to dub and reggae, clocked 1 million listeners earlier this summer, and now it’s celebrating its five-year anniversary by hosting Creekside Festival, writes Holly O’Mahony…
The day-long festival, a celebration of electronic music on Saturday September 2, is being held across several similarlypositioned venues in SE8, including AAJA’s Church Street headquarters, with DJ sets, drinks and bar snacks promised at each. The evening will be an adults only affair, however all festival venues welcome families to bring their kids along during the day. With a £15 wristband, festival goers can hop between the venues throughout the day.
AAJA is run by Lewisham locals Sam and Owen, who found a whole new audience when, during the lockdown, they kept the desks spinning, livestreaming sets into people’s homes.
“I don’t want to say Covid was an opportunity,” says Sam, conscientiously. “[The lockdown sessions] helped a lot of people with their mental health, especially people living on their own. It gave them a sense of community.”
Still, the jump in listeners was enough to encourage Sam and Owen to quit their
day jobs and focus on AAJA full-time.
Originally housed in an archway in Deptford Market Yard, the company moved to its current site at 30 Church Street in XXXX. To coincide with the festival, AAJA are opening up a second, subterranean space on Deptford High Street, where more radio shows will be recorded and events held.
Every September, the pair do something to mark another year in business.
Creekside Festival is by far the biggest celebration to date though, but with experience in managing night life, neither of them are fazed.
“We know how to throw parties and have worked with other promoters in the past,” says Sam, confidently.
Local hubs taking part include bar, kitchen and event space Buster Mantis –which will be hosting a barbecue during the day; quirky cafe-bar Isla Ray, and long-standing live music venue The Birds Nest which, boasting the neighbourhood’s
latest license, will be providing the last ones standing with a place to boogie until 3:30am. All venues will be in charge of their own food and drink offering, and by splitting the festival between multiple sites, “we hope to bring more business to the businesses in the area,” says Sam.
As for who’s playing, headline sets are promised from Cheeky Soundsystem, WOLF Music, Threads Radio and No Boundaries among others.
We wanted to keep it small and easily manageable this year,” says Sam. It doesn’t sound that small! “We’ve kept it humble enough,” he insists, pointing out that by virtue of taking place in pubs and bars instead of outside, it’s not really public facing – however, a party on the streets is something they’d be keen to do in the future, potentially as soon as next year.
“The big idea is we want to celebrate Deptford a bit more and bring back the [music] community that’s been diluted
over the years.” There’s also a growing worry that it might be now or never.
“Some of the places in Deptford are getting swallowed up by new developments. Even the space we’re currently in is at the mercy of this happening.“If we don’t [throw this event] now, we might not be able to,” Sam cautions. “These spaces are getting more important as there’s less of them.”
Still, there’s hope yet for a resurgence in Deptford’s live music scene to take
off. “There’s a rave culture that’s back and thriving in south London,” says Sam, adding that part of their mission with AAJA is to support new names making music. “We want to give people the opportunity to express themselves any way they want to musically.”
Creekside Festival is taking place in venues across Deptford, SE8. Saturday September 2, 12pm - 3:30am.
Admission: £15.

WHEN: August 31 - September 2
WHERE: Passey Place, Twinkle Park, Abbey Wood Playground and Glyndon
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 long reem of family activities, including interactive installations, street theatre and very silly comedy.
In Eltham? Head to Passey Place, where a group of mechanical creatures are hoping to make your acquaintance. The event marks the UK premiere of Animaltroniek by arts group Exoot. Also there and not to be missed is Fussy Foodies: a delicious demonstration of how food defines identity.
Is Deptford more your ‘hood? Then head to Twinkle Park, where the sure-footed performers are navigating revolving walls and doors as part of Plemish choreographer Piet Van Dycke’s show Exit. It’s a mix of acrobatics, balance and dance, essentially. While there, check out nearby installation
The Scribble of Imagination: a recycled playground made by a Catalan street theatre company.
Things are boppin’ and droppin’ in Abbey Wood Playground too, where hip-hop champion Brooke Miliner has co-devised a family street dance show by the name of Roll Model. Expect cyr wheeling, juggling, acrobatics and more from this high-energy act, which hopes to spread a message of inclusion.
Last but not least, on the Glyndon Estate Basketball Court, Simple Cypher’s show Breathe is a hip-hop
dance show presented by a leading youth dance company that as well as showing off its enviable moves, hopes to tell a story about the environment and the air we breathe.
RESURGAM
WHEN: August 31 - September 2
WHERE: St Paul’s Cathedral
Okay, this one isn’t in Greenwich, but it’s a one-of-a-kind spectacle work travelling for. It comes to the festival from Californian dance troupe Bandaloop, and sees the company perform a vertical dance on the side of central London landmark St Paul’s Cathedral. Resurgam, meaning ‘I shall rise’, takes its name from an inscription carved onto the south portico of the 300-year-old cathedral, and the work is an exploration of what it takes to be
optimistic in the face of challenges.
CYGNUS
WHEN: August 31 - September 3
WHERE: Royal Victoria Dock
If you caught Resurgam, you’ve already left the borough for the afternoon. On your way back down, we recommend you call in at Royal Victoria Dock, where a regatta of 12 illuminated swans are Drifting on the river. They’ll be there throughout the weekend, but we recommend catching a glimpse of their ‘poetic ballet’ at dusk, when they’ll look all the more stark and magical. A peaceful spectacle that should prove mesmerising for all ages.
SLIDING SLOPE
WHEN: September 2 & 3, 1:30pm & 6:45pm
WHERE: Royal Docks
GDIF is also on a “sustainability journey as a festival and as an organisation”, and this is explored in Sliding Slope, a heart-in-mouth spectacle set on a river, where performers cling to the roof of a building submerged in water. It’s inspired by the North Sea Flood of 1953, but it’s also a commentary on rising sea levels and the worsening effects of global warming.
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/

GD Collective is Greenwich Dance’s performance company for anyone over the age of 18 who would like to create dance material and perform it on stage.
I thought this week I would come back to the subject of ‘housing’ with a scheme from the late 19th century which provided homes for some of the vast and increasing number of working class people in the area. This is the Co-op estate in Abbey Wood and there is quite a bit about it on the web by various local history societies. The estate features in both the first and second editions of Darryl Spurgeon’s ‘Discover Woolwich and its Environs’.
Darryl worked most of his life for the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society in Woolwich and he must have known a great deal about their sites. His entries about the estate are quite long and I’ve cut them down a bit in these quotations. In the first edition he says ‘this estate, under the shadow’ of Bostall Heath, was built by the Royal Arsenal Cooperative Society between 1990-15 although some houses were added in the 1920s. There has been considerable extension and infill since the last war. The area retains a distinct Edwardian atmosphere.’ And he goes on with more detail which I will come back to.
In the second edition Darrell has added ‘the estate consists of long terraces in various styles and many houses have ornamental flourishes and distinctive brick patterns’. He also mentions the road names in the area, all of which have a distinct co-operative flavour.
As the result of some of the things which Darrell has mentioned in connection with the estate I have added even more subjects onto my extremely long list of things I hope to cover in these articles one day. So I will leave some gaps here and hope to come back soon.
One of the best histories of the estate is by Rod LeGear, who was writing about the chalk mine which was dug during the estate’s construction. I will come back to the mine separately but I would also like to advertise that Rod is going to come and talk to Greenwich Industrial History Society in the winter about underground sites in Greenwich and have asked him to particularly pick up on
the Co-op chalk mine. As well as describing the mine Rod has given a very detailed account of the early work building the estate.
Perhaps I had also better explain about the Co-op. Today we see the Co-op as a massive retail organisation based in Manchester. Back in the day there were lots of small local co-operative societies which had their own shops and other organisations – all gradually taken over by Manchester over the past 60 years. In Woolwich we had the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society, which was one of the biggest societies of the country - very large and very innovative. They not only had shops but also social facilities and a political arm. I like to think that some of the corporative tradition in Greenwich is carried on today by our wonderful Greenwich Co-operative Development Agency.
RACS had been set up by local people – predominantly Arsenal workers - and it involved discussion among members about what they were doing. The building of the estates was reported to meetings of ordinary society members and organisations in Woolwich. It was also discussed at national congresses to which RACS sent delegates and which were sometimes held in Woolwich.
In 1886 RACS bought Bostall Farm with 52 acres of agricultural land for £6200 at public auction. Later a procession of carts from Powis Street arrived to ‘take possession’ of the farm. The initial idea was to supply fruit and vegetables to RACS shops and
so work began to improve the buildings and the land. They pulled down cottages and built greenhouses for cucumbers and tomatoes as well as piggeries. The managers applied for a slaughterhouse licence. I don’t know if people will remember an article I wrote a couple of years ago about the ‘One and All’ wharf in Deptford and the role of Edward Greening in promoting local vegetable growing schemes. Like him RACS had ideas about improving the lives of working people. The ‘honest Artisan’ could grow quality food for his family’s food and the poor could become more self-sufficient, improve their health and also their economic lives. Once the housing was built a road was named after Greening and unused land continued to be advertised as allotment space for new residents.
There were however problems with Bostall Farm and the amount of work needed to get it into a really decent condition. There were also demonstrations by RACS members against tithes – money which went to the local church. RACS then bought Suffolk Place Farm which was adjacent to Bostall Farm – although there were rival bids for the farm at auction. One benefit of these purchases which historians will appreciate was the handing over of many packets of deeds and papers to W.T. Vincent, the Woolwich historian. He was able to analyse them for papers and lectures on the history of this part of Plumstead.
By 1900 it had been decided that what was really needed was decent housing for
what was seen to be an imminent increase in staff at the Arsenal. Plans were made for an estate of about 3,500 houses, most to be sold on a 99 year lease but with other options like permanent purchase or weekly tenancies, to be decided. They were to be the proper three bed houses with bathroom and a garden that most families would – and still do – aspire to.
The plan depended on improved transport links and hopefully a tram service would shortly begin. However William Booth, whose famous Survey of London came here in 1900, commented on how bad the train service was from Abbey Wood Station with trains always apparently running 20 to 40 minutes late. The new houses were aimed at Arsenal workers, who hopefully would not need the train.
Building work was done in-house by the RACS Works Department, paying trade union rates. Workshops were erected with modern machinery – the carpenters’ department had a Marshall steam engine. There was a smith’s shop to do all the metal work. Most remarkably there was a chalk mine - the chalk was used as a foundation for roads, as well as for making artificial stone which was used for window sills and so on. There was a special department to make artificial stone.
The first brick in the estate was laid in May 1900 and this is commemorated by a tablet which is now on the wall of the coop shop in Bostall Lane. It originally stood on the diagonally
opposite corner behind some railings, which are still there. Interestingly the Booth Survey mentions a ceremony carried out that May but I can find no newspaper report of this. In 1900 the commemorative plaque was set up and a procession came from Powis Street to celebrate this.
The progress of the estate was reported on regularly to RACS members at society meetings. As a result for example, a Mr McKay of Woolwich moved a resolution at National Congress about the establishment of housebuilding programmes by co-operative societies and quoted the Woolwich experience.
By 1900 it was said that 24 houses had already been leased out with an option to purchase; 43 had been sold outright and it was expected that by the end of the year some 50 or so would be occupied ‘by members of RACS’. A resolution passed that properties would only be allocated one at a time as a way of stopping speculators from buying blocks and renting them out. Leases were also discussed and there was some disagreement among members of Woolwich Borough Council about this system
The estate continue to expand over the next 20 years but after the Great War the number of workers at the Arsenal began to decline - although houses continued to be built in the 1920s . A trip round the estate today will show a quiet area with houses of many types. I assume they ae now in various types of ownership and l understand that the housing association undertake some management, since RACS is now sadly long gone.
One memory of the origins of the area remains in the streets named for co-operative principles like ‘Congress’ and ‘Federation’. The main road to the estate was named after McLeod, the secretary of RACS whose statue is on frontage of their Powis Street shop. There is also a road named after Greening and another - ‘Owenite’ –highlights support for the work of Robert Owen – ‘founder of utopian socialism and the co-operative movement’.

Residents and businesses can share feedback in a number of different ways before the 5pm deadline on Friday 29 September.
Online at royalgreenwich.gov.uk/greenersafer-greenwich
We’re arranging online webinars which will be posted on royalgreenwich.gov.uk/greenersafer-greenwich
In person events where you can, ask questions and give your views:

Royal Greenwich is asking local people to help shape the future of development in the borough.
The Local Plan is the Council’s main planning document, which is used to manage development such as new homes and business space for people to work and shop. It includes policies to ensure that any development in the borough is supported by essential infrastructure such as schools and doctors surgeries, and helps the Council to tackle climate change and improve air quality.
In the first phase of consultation, the Council is asking people about what’s important to them in a number of key areas, such as housing, transport, the local economy and climate change. Give your feedback by Tuesday 5 September at 5pm to help shape the first draft of the plan.
