Pick of the Week

Feeling Blue

In this 45-minute tour, assistant curator Maya Wassell-Smith will unpack the rich narratives in Alberta Whittle’s work, which speaks to a global history of migration, melancholy and mythology. Feeling Blue is a site-specific commission, made by Alberta Whittle and Dovecot Studios. When designing the tapestry, Whittle visited Royal Museums Greenwich, delving into the collections at the National Maritime Museum and exploring the tapestry at the Queen’s House. Weaving together sailor traditions, Windrush stories, ocean ecologies and musical themes, the piece speaks to the multiple histories represented at the Museum, and imbalances of power evoked by the Queen’s House.

The global awards recognise the work of incredible women everywhere, presented by Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York and Dr Tererai Trent

Indira Kennedy, a consultant in conscious leadership, has been announced as an ambassador for the 2024 Women Changing the World Awards.

“My first reaction was deep gratitude and empathy for the aims of the awards, and I remember thinking as I read the request email, ‘Of course!’” she says.

Indira is a local of Blackheath and was approached to be an ambassador after she was awarded silver in Leader of the Year in the 2023 proceedings. She explains that was recognised, in part, for her “deep dedication to supporting women’s potential and success over decades”.

The Women Changing the World Awards recognise the work of incredible women

making a positive difference in the world across a range of industries and areas. The awards also aim to elevate, celebrate, connect and support women in their journey as changemakers, trailblazers and leaders.

The awards are presented by Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York and Dr Tererai Trent and cover achievements in many areas, including: sustainability, humanitarian work, leadership, advocacy, tech, product development, education, health and innovation.

And why is celebrating the work of women so important today? Indira explains: “There are so many women in the UK and beyond who deserve this kind of recognition.

“So many of us work quietly yet so hard

Blackheath local announced as an ambassador of Women

Changing the World Awards

and with such dedication, not only to work but also to our private lives.

“Some women struggle to be visible and feel uncomfortable promoting themselves. Imposter syndrome is always lurking, and so is a level of humility that can hold us back.

“These days we know that there are billions of pounds available to the economy through women’s businesses and we would all be better off if this half of the population were given equity, relevant business skills and the appropriate support to meet the demands of life generally.

“It can be so difficult to thrive in business carrying the belief that you are, and always will be, disadvantaged simply because you are female.”

Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York says: “Our aim is to give voice to silent whispers. We want to lift women up all over the world and tell their stories.”

Dr Tererai Trent adds: “Women hold the ideas and leadership to heal the world. We are strong already, but together we are stronger.

“These exceptional women are here to awaken hearts, give permission to recapture dreams and inspire the women of the world to come together to forge a brighter path for all. The rising of women is the awakening of everybody.”

Indira says of the awards coming up in May: “I have seen how proud and deeply

moved women are, as I was when being presented with an award. When I sat down after winning my award, I felt an unexpected compassion for myself. I felt the sum total of what I had done to date rush through me. It felt like my whole life was being acknowledged.

“So I am looking forward to the event with great excitement, to witnessing this recognition of all the dedicated changemakers in attendance, not forgetting those women who are unable to be at the event, whether they win an award or not.”

Indira is committed to continuing to make an impact through being an ambassador and encourages women to nominate themselves as well as women they admire for the Women Changing the World Awards each year.

The winners of the 2024 Women Changing the World Awards will be announced at an event hosted at Fairmont Windsor Park on 25 May 2024. www.consciousleader.com.au wcwawards.com

Duke of Greenwich

Co-owner Jonathan Kaye tells Eliza Frost about the pub’s new garden launch, the name’s historical nod and its moreish menu

“In my 10 years in London, I’ve run a lot of fun and interesting places, including The Big Easy, Oblix at the Shard, The Neptune Restaurant at Kimpton Fitzroy London, and the Delaunay,” explains Jonathan Kaye, co-owner of the Duke of Greenwich.

He’s been in hospitality for almost 20 years and started at the local pub back in Essex. He “instantly fell in love with the industry”.

Working with business partner Dan, they had the opportunity to take the lease of Vauxhall pub The Jolly Gardeners – “and that’s when the pubs started”. Now it’s the Duke of Greenwich….

How has the refurb process been since you took over the Duke of Greenwich last year?

It’s been rather fun, when we got the pub, it didn’t actually have a kitchen or bar, so we had to start with a BBQ outside. We saved up some pennies to purchase a new kitchen for the inside. The pub has got some great history to it, so we wanted to preserve that as much as possible.

And what is that history?

It was opened in 1871 as The Duke of Edinburgh, it carried on until it was called The Vanbrugh for almost 20 years, which it is most known. We changed the name back as a nod to the original, the only thing is that there are a couple of pubs called The Duke of Edinburgh, hence the name change.

What do you love about being located in Greenwich?

Being so close to one of the best parks in London is ideal, I live around the corner from the pub so I’ve known the area for a little while now. Locals are friendly and I’m pretty sure we get around 20 dogs a day visit us, which is obviously great.

You launched a new menu recently, tell us about that…

We wanted to do a little twist on pub classics, everything we make here is fresh and we get our produce from great suppliers: meat is from Lyon’s Hill in Dorset, fish is fresh from James Knight of Mayfair, sourced from Cornwall, and vegetables are delivered from farm to door by Shrub Provisions.

The cost we pay for these items is a little more expensive, but

it’s worth it for the flavour and sustainability aspect.

Why is where you source ingredients from so important?

Food sustainability has always been important to us here, the farm that we work and source meat from follows regenerative farming practices. This is much better for the environment but also you can taste the difference with the free-range meat.

Also, all the beer here is from south London, we really wanted to help put those breweries on the map and champion independence. We deal directly with the brewers, so for example, we put an order in for our Duke lager on Tuesday, it’s brewed on Wednesday and then delivered on Thursday, you can’t get much fresher than that.

What are the menu highlights?

With asparagus season in full swing, it has to be our asparagus, new potato and pine nut salad, with wild garlic aioli. For a main course, the lamb shank, mushroom and rosemary pie and mash. But better than anything is our Sunday roast; large cuts of meat with the best vegetable and sides selection around.

Dan was pleased to add a BBQ menu – is this ready for summer?

Yes, we are currently playing with smoking and slow-cooking different cuts of meats and vegetables (tough job, I know). We are looking to launch the BBQ menu at the start of May…

This is your second pub, how has it been adding another

location to your roster?

We have loved the opportunity to save a pub from turning into flats! We have a great team in place at The Jolly, who have been there since we opened. They run the place now, but we still pop back a few times a week to see the regulars.

What do you like about the new venue that stands out?

We really wanted to push the garden and make it one of the best in London to visit. We are planning to play the Euros this year on a massive screen outside. Henry, the local gardener, has just finished landscaping the garden, the new BBQ menu will be launched and the outside bar takeover will be in full swing.

Charlton crowned Community Club of the Season

Charlton Athletic have been named as the Community Club of the Season at the 2024 EFL Awards ceremony in London.

The EFL Community Club of the Season Award celebrates an outstanding club, based on its commitment to the community and the impact it has on people’s lives.

In 2023, Charlton Athletic’s Community Trust (CACT) engaged with 25,000 participants, with the work having a reported value to society of £49.6million. Charlton Athletic continues to remain committed to EDI excellence, with training provided to the club’s Board and a women’s network established last year.

More than 7,400 cost-of-living support referrals were received from Charlton’s Primary Care partners, which lead to CACT making 11,222 outward referrals

to support people in need of help.

Speaking after collecting the award, CACT CEO Jason Morgan said: “We were delighted at the House of Commons to win the divisional Community Club of the Year, but this is special tonight, very special.

“It is a credit to Terry Peart and everyone at the Charlton Athletic Community Trust for all the work they do, and we are delighted tonight.”

If you would like to help support the vital work of CACT, please consider becoming a Friend of CACT by setting up a regular donation today, by visiting: cact.gives/donate

Inventor Percival Moses Parsons and his back garden

I thought this week that I ought to return to some of the Greenwich based engineers and inventors. There are an awful lot to choose from, but I thought I would do the man whom I once heard Neil Rhind say invented Manganese Bronze in his Shooters Hill back garden.

Now manganese bronze is an important substance “typically used to make things that require strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity”. Some important Greenwich industries made items based on its use. But I don’t know why he invented it at home in his garden because he had a perfectly well functioning foundry down in Greenwich. Also as far as his back garden was concerned he had eleven children - which means between the eldest and the youngest there was a need over thirty years for garden playspace...

We seem to have forgotten all these interesting little foundries where so much was being invented. Engineering history goes on and on and on about the Stephensons and Brunels and rarely is there any mention of those in the back streets and there were lots. The

famous ones are only those whose heads pop up above the crowd. I have tried to write about some of the non-famous - Joshua Beale and William Joyce for instance. This is going to be about Percival Moses Parsons and what he did as well as inventing manganese bronze.

Percival was born in 1819 at an address in Stockwell in Lambeth where, I think his father had a business. I know very little about his father - John Parsons - who may or may not have come from Leicestershire, where his father could well have been may have been the county roads engineer. He might have had a wood supply business in Lambeth and he might have died in India in 1824. But this is all guesswork. Percival’s mother was Charlotte Moses from a Greenwich family who married John Parsons in St.Alfege’s church. By

1825 she was living in Greenwich with her young son. He went to the school in Blackheath and in 1834, because of his interest in engineering went for an apprenticeship at

Portsmouth dockyard.

When he was 18 he joined the firm of Braithwaite and Milner. Braithwaite had been involved in the earliest

railway trials at Rainhill with the ‘Novelty’. They built locomotives for the Eastern counties Railway and by 1841 Percival was in charge of plant and some works.

„ Queen Mary propeller made by Stone’s in Charlton 1930s

After a few years he set up on his own with Theophilus Bunning at another address in Lambeth and they designed a marine engine. Bunning is more usually seen as a mining engineer from North East England and within two years the partnership was dissolved by mutual consent. Percival henceforth described himself as ‘a civil engineer’.

I have a newspaper report from 1845 where he appears to be in charge of a works on Deptford Creek – the news story is about the death of a young boy who fell into the Creek and was drowned. Percival gave a lot of evidence of all the ways that were tried to save the boy and failed. There is no other of him working as a supervisor at a Deptford firm this early but he worked for the Rennie brothers for a while, although apparently not at their works on Deptford Creek.

At some stage Percival set up his own foundry in London – he always gave an Adelphi address - but this is more likely to be an office than a works. He also used an address in Arthur Street West – the curving road which still runs between Lower

Thames Street and King William Street. Here he worked on railway equipment - light fittings, improved switches and axle boxes. He sold “Marine and Land (Locomotive, Stationary, and Portable) Steam Engines and Boilers, Steam and other Cranes and Drivers, Forge Hammers, etc.” From the early 1850s he took out many patents - 52 in all - 11 of them for railway equipment. His Railway Axle Box Co sold licences to manufacture using his patents. At the 1851 great exhibition he showed a ‘railway switch’. In 1857 he patented ‘The Wedge Fish-Joint Chair’ – which received a great deal of publicity.

In 1851 he married Ann Rexford from Greenwich in St. Alfege’s church, like his parents. They went to live at an address in Lee Green.

Their first child Percival Rexford Parsons was born just a year later at an address in West London.

Meanwhile Percival wrote a book about a proposed railway scheme. This was ambitious to say the least and involved the construction of a large central station on the Embankment Gardens connecting the Metropolitan and District lines

with other London lines. He had the backing of a Robert Stevenson (not the famous one) and John Hawkshaw. These ideas were hailed as revolutionary and would certainly have been a great asset to London, but were halted by the development of the Crimean war. This led to rising land values, and the land needed was sold to others. The scheme was dropped and meanwhile in 1854 the family celebrated the birth of Eustace Robert.

By the mix-1850s the family had moved to Shooters Hill Road – where he was to remain until the end of his life. Soon after setting up home there in 1855 the family was increased with Annie Rexford – clearly named for her mother. Two years later in 1857 John Inglis was the next addition to the family. Meanwhile Percival had begun to experiment with metals and had a furnace and a laboratory built in his back garden. In 1859 Charlotte Mary was born and in 1860 Flora Kate.

He had also developed an interest in gun manufacture. He held 19 patents for artillery related devices. These included a system of inserting rifled steel tubes into old cast-iron guns,

to make old and unusable weapons serviceable. However a trial of this by the Ordnance Committee in 1860 was not favourable and he let his patent lapse. In 1862 he challenged a patent for a similar system. It went to adjudication and he got £1,000 compensation from the War Office.

Also in 1862 he launched another invention - ‘white brass’. “For the bearings of railway carriages, engines, and all kinds of machinery. A large saving is to be effected by the use of this alloy. The price is not more than two-thirds that of gun metal, whilst its durability is twelve times as great.”

Meanwhile in 1862 the family was joined by Charles Frederick born in Dover and two years later Jane Edith Sophia was born –like most of her siblings –in Blackheath – as was Catherine Louise Maude in 1865.

At some stage he opened a foundry in what is now Banning Street - I think either on the site adjacent to the rear of the Pelton Arms or on the corner with Derwent Street. In 1871 he was recruited by the Bessemer family to lay out, and eventually manage the Bessemer Greenwich steel works on what is now the Hanson site on Victoria Wharf. This was a large works and its main product was rails for the railway industry.” It had two 2½ ton converters... one 2½-ton steam hammer … the buildings were carefully designed, with the intention that the establishment should be

in all respects be a model one”.

Sadly Helen Grace, born in 1869 lived only a year, but Amy Lillian born in the following year was much longer lived and made it into the 1960s.

He continued to work on metals and in 1875 he set up the White Brass Co, appointing as superintendent his eldest son Percy, by then aged 23.

He patented manganese bronze in 1886 and then established his own company, P. M. Parsons, to produce the metal at St George’s Wharf, in Deptford. He began to specialise in making ships’ propellers (copper and manganese) operating from a Thames-side factory. Later the propeller works were in rivalry with Stone, who made vast propellers in Charlton for famous ocean liners.

Manganese Bronze Company moved to Millwall and in the Great War was contracted by the Ministry of Munitions to produce shell cases. They later moved their propeller works to Birkenhead merging with Stone’s only in 1963. Stone Marine Shipcare still functions in Birkenhead - and dropped the word ‘manganese’ from their title only in 2008.

This has been a very quick run through the life of Percival Moses Parsons –who deserves something much longer and much more detailed.

He died in 1892 and is buried in Greenwich cemetery.

New advice sessions for residents switching to Universal Credit

We’ve opened a new advice hub to help residents making the switch from old style benefits like Jobseekers Allowance, Housing Benefit and Child Tax Credit to Universal Credit (UC).

Thousands of residents will be making the switch under new government rules to move all benefit recipients onto Universal Credit.

To support those making the switch, we have opened a new weekly advice session every Tuesday from 10am to 12pm at the Woolwich Centre, 35 Wellington Street SE18 6HQ

When it is your turn to be moved to Universal Credit, you’ll receive a "migration notice" letter in the post from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

We can’t provide advice to anyone who has not received this.

What you need to bring:

• The letter from the DWP inviting you to claim Universal Credit (migration notice);

• Details of your housing costs including how much your rent and/or mortgage costs are and who else lives with you;

• Details of how much you earn and any other income you may have;

• Information about any savings and investments such as shares or property you may rent out;

• Details of the bank account you would like their UC to be paid into.

Want advice about your benefits or want to make an early switch to Universal Credit?

Contact us before you do, as submitting an early claim may not be the best option.

Call 020 8921 6375 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 10am to 1pm.

You can also use our contact form to send us message: royalgreenwich.gov.uk/ contactwelfare
