Greenwich & Lewisham Weekender - September 27th 2023

We’re proposing a new special school for reception to sixth form

The Royal Borough of Greenwich would like your help in shaping our proposals to build a new all-through special school for children and young people with an Education and Health Care (EHC) Plan, supporting pupils throughout their education.

An all-through school has classes from reception to sixth form. This school will offer placements to children and young people who have Autistic Spectrum Disorder with complex learning needs, to meet the increasing demand for specialist provision locally.

The first phase will see a secondary school set up on Council land in Hargood Road,

New free number for council housing repairs

With the cost of living crisis affecting residents across the borough, the Council has launched a new freephone number for reporting housing repairs in Council homes.

The number is open to residents who are reporting a repair for the first time.

Call 0808 175 6915

Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

Congratulations to our community arts funded organisations!

Body politics: audiences become destructive white blood cells in Camille Dawson’s new show

Camille Dawson hid her chronic illness from everyone for 11 years before deciding she was ready to start talking about it. Being a theatremaker “who started making shows as soon as she could stand up”, she knew the best place to share her story was through her work, writes Holly

O’Mahony…

Diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) when she was just 16, Camille spent the latter years of her teens doing what she could to mask what was going on inside her body. She was taking “intense drugs” which made her face puffy. “People at the school whispered, which compounded the sense of shame,” she recalls.

Knowing she’d have the condition for her whole life was a tough pill to swallow. “Chronic conditions are more often associated with older people,” she reflects. “[16 is] a really awkward age because your body is in flux and you’re also realising your sexuality for the first time.”

Growing up and meeting other people with chronic illnesses helped Camille feel seen. She even discovered she wasn’t the only person in her circle of creatives who was suffering from an invisible disease.

She knew she wanted to create more of a discourse around IBD, but this meant coming out and talking about her own story, “which was quite painful at the beginning,” she remembers. Still, the writing process came easily. “It was one of those things where you hold something in for ages and when you sit down to write it, it comes out really quickly,” she laughs.

The first draft offered more of a bird’s-eye view of her experience. “I wasn’t really letting myself get into the emotion of it… as I unpicked it, it became more and

more cathartic as I discovered how much was in there.”

The eventual piece, The War Inside, gets about as close to the condition as is possible. It follows Marnie, whose story mirrors Camille’s own, but rather than offering a straight-up account of living with an autoimmune condition, this immersive show sees the audience become the white blood cells, guilty of perceiving a non-existent threat and attacking the body.

Back on the surface, Marnie and her organs must survive these affronts so that she can stay as healthy as she can and learn to live positively.

Autoimmune disease is a serious subject matter, but sick of the dreary, sombre messaging she often found accompanied her condition, Camille was keen to explore it in a “bombastic way”.

Cue Cristina Ottonello’s set design, bringing the body to life as a “psychedelic wonderland of inflatable organs, whimsical floating cells [and] largerthan-life puppets”. These are audibly complemented by Paul Freeman’s soundscape and backed up with an interactive film by Molly Pendlebury.

Camille is a multi-disciplinary artist who away from her first autobiographical show, is the founder and artistic director of multi-art theatre company Frisky Arts. While The War Inside is a play first and foremost, it’s actually a four-pronged project, with the physical play,

its audio equivalent (first heard at Waterloo’s Vault Festival in March), the immersive set and a tapestry made by over 70 participants, all available to be commissioned separately. The tapestry turns Camile’s personal story into a universal conversation, with various charities getting involved in support of people living with invisible diseases.

While a chance for Camille to flex her creative skills, this approach is also savvy: even if there’s not a stage or the right creatives available to mount the full production, elements of it can still be commissioned without too much ground work.

Diving inside the body is a highly scientific way of exploring her condition. Did she have to do a lot of research to get the anatomy right? “I knew fundamentally that in autoimmune diseases your white blood cells, that are meant to protect you, work against you,” she says. “As a writer, it’s amazing stakes,” she laughs.

Camille saw parallels between the illogical behaviour of her body attacking itself and the extremism currently dividing communities. She counts the storming of the Capitol Building in the US as among her inspirations for how to illustrate what’s been going on inside her. “It’s interesting to think of how people become radicalised and think they’re helping (their country), but actually they’re destroying their own environment,” she muses.

Having grown up in a south-east London community that “really valued the arts… I got this sense from a young age of how much drama could bring people together,” she says. “[Deptford theatre] The Albany has always been a venue that’s meant a lot to me,” she adds. Camille performed in shows there as a kid, partied there as a teen, got her first job there as a young adult and eventually became a board member – a role she’s now stepped down from to focus on producing her own work.

Joining Camille on stage for the show is actor Sophie Taylor. The two haven’t performed together before but Camille is confident in their stage chemistry. She even made the unconventional move of swapping the roles last-minute so that Sophie plays the autoimmune disease sufferer Marnie, while she herself plays those who Marnie comes across on her journey. It’s a move that allows her to better direct the play, she explains.

The play asks audiences to get right inside the body, exploring an autoimmune condition from within. What does she hope those who see the show take away from it? “I hope people with invisible illnesses know they are not alone [and] people feel more confident to talk about their conditionn… the ripple effect is hopefully very far reaching.”

The War Inside is showing at the Albany, Douglas Way, London SE8 4AG. September 26 - 30, performances at 7:30pm and additionally at 2:30pm on Saturday 30. Admission: £12 - £14. www.thealbany.org. uk/shows/the-war-inside/

Handel’s Semele for the social media era

Blackheath Halls is rolling out its annual Community Opera and this year, it’s William Congreve and George Frederic Handel’s Semele that’s being revived. Not as a straight up period piece, though. Instead the team have decided to explore the opera’s theme of aspiring for a more glamorous life through our current times’ fixation with seeking approval on social media, writes Holly

Joining the 80-strong chorus, made up of school children and community groups aged 8-80, are several famous faces. Rising star Francesca Chiejina, who recently performed in the Royal Opera House’s production of Aida, plays the title role. Joining her are mezzosoprano Katie Bray, tenor Thando Mjandana and the Halls’ past Opera Patron: internationally-acclaimed bass Matthew Rose, singing both the roles of Cadmus and Somnus.

The story follows young bride-to-be Semele, who on her wedding day is left wondering whether she should marry the man her father approves of or elope with Jupiter, King of the Gods, and enjoy the luxuries of a more glamorous life. But even if Semele chooses the latter, not everyone is willing to accept her into the A-list world of the Gods.

The Weekender spoke to Blackheath Halls’ Community Engagement Manager Rose Ballantyne to find out more…

Holly O’Mahony: Tell us about your version of Semele. What made you decide to reset the 300-year-

old opera in the present day?

Rose Ballantyne: Our creative team felt that the story was relevant to our times for a variety of reasons and a modern-day setting would give the audience a chance to relate more easily to the music written nearly 300 years ago.

HOM: It does seem ripe for exploring in the age of digital influencing, where so many of us feel the temptation to present more glamorous looking versions of our lives on social media, and some are even paid by big brands to do it… how are you weaving the

watchful, boastful presence of social media into your production?

RB: Social media is at the heart of the production. Without giving too much away, Semele lives in a mortal world which is grey and uninspiring. When she gets taken up to the world of the Gods by Jupiter, we are in a party palace in LA with an infinity pool and A-listers. Dressed in vibrant rainbow colours, everyone at the party has a big Instagram following and this is the world Semele aspires to be part of.

HOM: Tell us about the music of the show. Is there a highlight piece? How accessible is it for

audiences new to opera?

RB: There are two well-known arias in Semele: ‘Endless Pleasure’ and ‘Wheree’er You Walk’. Both are incredibly beautiful. Handel is a hugely creative composer, and each aria and chorus has a different energy and colour. The music certainly grows on you as you get to know it better, but I think the audience will love it even if they are hearing it for the first time.

HOM: You’ve got some professional opera stars performing in the production. How did you go about casting it? Is there anyone you’re especially

excited to be working with?

RB: We’ve got such an amazing cast. Among several returning faces, we are thrilled that Matthew Rose is joining us. He is an internationally renowned opera star who was the Patron of Blackheath Halls Opera for many years and really helped us to get the project off the ground in the early days.

HOM: Community wise, which schools are joining you this year? And what parts or arias will the children be performing?

RB: We work with a youth company who come from lots of

different schools. We also have students from Charlton Park Academy and Greenvale, two local Special Educational Needs and Difficulties (SEND) schools. They have the special moment as Cupid’s helpers and are onstage a lot with the adult chorus too.

HOM: Has the Blackheath Halls Orchestra played the score of Semele together before? How are they finding it?

RB: They haven’t played it before, and it is extremely challenging for them. So many notes! They will be wonderful though.

HOM: Finally, what do you hope the audience takes away from seeing this modern take on Semele?

RB: I hope they have a really fun evening and enjoy seeing our wide, diverse community all pulled together by a love of opera and performing. Semele is showing at Blackheath Halls, 23 Lee Road, Blackheath, London SE3 9RQ. September 26, 7pm; 28, 7pm; & 30, 2:30pm; October 1, 2:30pm. Admission: £10 - £30.

The world famous Penn’s

Mary Mills

Well, I thought it was important this week to get back to something more industrial with another extract from the industrial archaeology south east London. This is a building which once stood on what is now the Wickes site in Blackheath Road. This was once the site of Penn’s world famous and innovative engineering works. I wrote about Penn’s site here for Weekender in October 2021 and I intend to come back to them again.

So what does Celia say? “Patternmakers shop, Blackheath Road, SE10. On the site of what is now Broomfield’s Bakery alongside the charmingly named Ditch Alley is the site of John Penn and Sons, Pattern Makers Shop. The Shop is the only Penn building left on this site. It is a three-storey yellow stock brick building with grey slate hipped gable roof, the windows have been semi-circular arches now partly bricked up to take smaller modern windows. On the long east face is a large opening, now bricked up, which extends to the full height of the building and betrays its former use”.

A – date unknown -sketch map of the site shows that the pattern makers shop lay at the Blackheath Road end of the site on the uphill portion of what was the works, alongside Ditch Alley. Ditch Alley is still there - although it doesn’t appear to have a road sign – running from Blackheath Road to what is now called John Penn Street. I assume that stretches of wall along Ditch Alley and in John Penn Street date from the days of the Penn Works.

A 19th century description says that it is an exception to the other buildings of the works because it is three stories in height and the side looking into the yard included large range of windows. The building presented a brighter and more attractive aspect than some of the others’ and it was ‘free from clangour’. Its basement was a storeroom where there was quite a store of patterns. There was a turnery on the ground floor and on the first floor was the pattern shop itself. There were more stores ‘up in the roof’. Work there was interesting ‘because it is careful exactitude’. It was noted that it was in easy reach of the brass and iron

foundries where the pattern makers work was used. Pattern making was the first stage in the making of casting and any errors would cause real problems and be hard to change. Making them was a specialist skill for woodworkers.

Other buildings on site include a Smiths’ shop with 60 hearths and a foundry where iron, brass and bronze castings were made and with five cranes, all made in-house, to cover the whole area. The erecting shop and heavy turnery had four bays and the small turnery had special machine tools to make smaller engines. There were two lines of tram tracks with an overhead crane running above them.

The Pattern Shop was built in 1863 following purchase of the freehold of the estate from the Holwell Charity for £21,500 - more about Holwell, maybe in a future article. That purchase included a big extension to the works by adding in a large site on the other, west, side of Ditch Alley. That iI where, in later years after Penn’s was taken over by Thames Ironworks, the car and lorry works was established. It is now the site of Franklin Place.

By 1992 the Pattern Shop was the only Penn building left on the site - I can remember seeing it but I don’t know how it was that it survived when all the other buildings were demolished. For many years the site was used by Broomfield’s bakery which closed in 1992. There was then a campaign to keep that last building but while the Council made moves to get it listed it was demolished.

In the Holwell archive is a sketch map of the site which shows the works and various other buildings of

the Penn factory. It is interesting to compare this with a modern day aerial photograph of the site today and you see how close the layout of most of the Wickes buildings compares to the sites of Penn’s various workshops. The entrance to the factory for supplies to Penn’s factory which was used by their workmen, throughout their occupation of the site, was in what is now John Penn Street, but was then ‘Coldbath Street’ or ‘Bath Street’. The timekeeper had a lodge there, and it was the principal entrance and exit for raw materials, and finished work. There was a weighing machine and deliveries there included ‘pig iron for the foundry, malleable iron for the smiths’ shop, timber for the carpenters’. This old entrance is now the site of a small electricity transmission station which looks remarkably like a gatehouse

itself. After the purchase of the Holwell estate there was a second entrance near where John Penn Street adjoins Kent Waterworks property.

Some years ago the GIHS newsletter published a series of articles about the location of the Penn site and some of its history. These came from George Arthur and Richard Cheffins, both of whom seem to have spent some time walking around the site with the sketch map trying to work out what was where.

They both mention 10 Lewisham Road. Richard Cheffins pointed out that before the 1863 expansion the Penn family lived in a house on the corner of Blackheath Road opposite The George and Dragon Pub. This house, he says, was separated from the works

by the gardens of a number of other properties. These were eventually replaced probably in the early 1860s by the present buildings in Lewisham Road between Blackheath Road and John Penn Street, although there have been some more recent infillings and drastic alterations. They are single fronted houses until just one double fronted house on the John Penn Street corner. This is no. 10, which is more upmarket and belonged to the Penns. What did they use it for?

In the 1880s the visitors’ entrance to the works was described as ‘only a few yards wide… with the natural contour of the ground dipping to a steep incline’. Through the door and down a few steps you then reach the hall with offices and a counting house. Above these was a large drawing

engineering works

office ‘lit from the roof’. Here the initial steps were taken in connection with every engine or boiler produced by the firm. Drawings and specifications showed the exact proportions in the minutest details of every rivet and bolt hole. The actual manufacture of the engine could then begin.

Richard Cheffins speculates that there may have been two houses on the John Penn Street corner, No 10 and one other. Looking at the sketch map it appears that there was a passageway either between two houses or down the middle of one house. That passage would have led to the reception area which was in the main factory. Richard could not come to a conclusion about the passage based on the amount of space available and the small area adjacent to No. 10 which is now within the Wickes site and used for storage and car parking. He said that he thinks that number 10 is a surviving partner of an entry to the works. Perhaps it made sense to have posh visitors and customers coming to this nice front door and walking through the passageway over to the works

offices. However, another contributor to the old newsletter says the house was nothing to do with the factory.

Thames Ironworks left the site in the first decade of 20th-century and has had several successors. I’m aware that some of them are quite short lived and it is not seem easy to get a definitive list. I mentioned Broomfield’s bakery above and I assume that this was a central bakery supplying bread and other items to a network of shops throughout south-east London. However, I can find nothing about this except one reference to the head office on this site. It’s a good example of how firms can just disappear and it’s often difficult to find out anything about them except sometimes from family history websites. Another successive user was Francis’ tin box factory on the extension on the other side of Ditch Alley where the car factory was. I will write a future article about them – a piece about them I wrote for the old GIHS newsletter twenty years ago and then put on our old blog, holds the record for the number of comments about the site.

KAI’S JOURNEY TO BECOMING PART OF THE CHARLTON FAMILY

Athletic

Charlton Challenge is a structured programme for children aged 2-8 which aims to improve their core movement and football skills. The programme is designed to encourage the young footballers and help them realise their full potential, whilst creating maximum enjoyment.

After regularly attending Charlton Challenge for 2 years, Kai had steadily improved his football skills and showed passion for the game, so CACT coaches offered him the opportunity to join the Valley Gold Advanced Centre to help develop further.

The Valley Gold Advanced Centre offers talented players from across CACT’s community programmes the chance to train regularly to an Academy standard curriculum.

Kai’s Dad, said:

“Being part of the Charlton

Challenge has been great for Kai developing his overall football skills. He started with real passion but very raw. The course has focused him providing really good clear guidance session by session each term. He has improved overall in technique, skill, and confidence across the board.

“All this continuous improvement has meant he has now moved to the Advanced Centre, where he has now progressed to learning more about positioning and how to play different aspects of the game. It has been an excellent experience, which I would recommend to anybody interested in improving their game.”

Josh Covill, CACT’s Football & Sports Development Officer, said:

“Kai came to the Charlton Challenge when he was 5 years old and very quickly you could see his passion and love for football. His

improvement has been steady and has shown lots of great attributes to help him on his journey with us.

“Now aged 7, he has earned his opportunity to join the Valley Gold Advanced Centre and we hope he continues his development, learns even more new skills and grows as a player and a young person with us.”

Charlton Challenge sessions are available at a range of locations across Greenwich, Bexley and Kent. Help advance your child’s football skills by signing up today and visiting: cact.org.uk/charlton-challenge

If your child is over 8 years old, CACT’s Player Development Centre’s could be the perfect next step for them in enhancing their football skills. Find out more information and sign your child up by visiting: cact.gives/courses

Young people are Great in Greenwich!

The highest achieving young people in Royal Greenwich were honoured at our first ever Great in Greenwich Awards on 5 September.

Schools nominated students who achieved great things in their GCSE, A Level and BTECs to attend the special ceremony at Woolwich Works.

Teachers and families proudly watched on as students were awarded with certificates to recognise their incredible exam results. A selfie-fest followed as students showed off their awards with their friends and families for the cameras.

Applications have opened for secondary school places for September 2024. Apply by 31 October 2023: royalgreenwich.gov. uk/admissions
