A Ye A r in the Life

Photographer Hugh Fox exhibits the people and places of the Old Royal Naval College

Photographer Hugh Fox has documented the people and places of the Old Royal Naval College over the last twelve months.

Capturing the passing of time and interactions of visitors, Fox brings to life the London landmark through his photographic style in the exhibition A Year in the Life: People and Places of the Old Royal Naval College.

The photographs will be presented alongside interviews and soundscapes, inviting visitors to learn more about the fascinating work that takes place behind the scenes of the Unesco World Heritage Site.

The exhibition will be mounted in the Ripley Tunnel underneath the Painted Hall, bringing together a selection of twelve photographs, including portraits of staff.

Be sure to remember your headphones as the exhibition is an audiovisual experience, celebrating the Old Royal Naval College as more than just a historic landscape, but also as a living entity, constantly evolving through the public and staff who visit and work here.

Fox’s exhibition will show the interactions of visitors to the site, as well as the conservation work done by the staff to protect its heritage.

Fox is an award-winning British

photographer, whose work has been exhibited in Italy, Germany, Japan and Switzerland. In 2022, Fox won the Sony World Photography

– Professional

Category, and in 2023 was one of the winners of Portrait of Britain for the third consecutive year.

exhibition is a collaboration between Fox and the Old Royal Naval College, with interviews and soundscapes by ORNC staff member

Luisa De la Concha Montes.

As part of the opening of A Year in the Life, Fox will lead two workshops, followed by a photo walk, providing visitors with the unique chance to learn more about photographic techniques from Fox himself and to engage in an active walk-around to capture moments from the site.

As well as enjoying Fox’s exhibition this spring, visitors to the Old Royal Naval College can head outside to discover creations from independent artisans and creators in the Artisan Market, which will be in the grounds most weekends from May to August.

Also, in May Half Term, families can enjoy Chocolate Workshops run by the Chocolate Museum and, to celebrate the new season of Bridgerton, the last Sunday of every month until September will see Bridgerton Afternoon Tea on the colonnades – right where scenes from the show were filmed.

The

Come As You Are

Youth group at The Albany creates a ‘safe space’ for young people aged 12-24 to explore creative outlets and access mental health support, writes Eliza Frost…

“Spaces that are for young people keep them safe, create an atmosphere for creativity, learning, fun and relaxation to take place, take them away from opportunities for crime and ensure they receive support for their mental health,” says Aleksa Asme of Come As You Are (CAYA), a free weekly youth group hosted at Deptford’s The Albany.

CAYA hosts a variety of free workshops, has rehearsal spaces where young people can work on their own projects, a music recording studio with a producer/ engineer who leads coaching sessions, and a table tennis table, board and card games, plus free snacks and utilities.

It also hosts spontaneous open-mic and karaoke segments for young people to have fun, explore their creativity, step outside of their comfort zone and share their work. When the sun is shining, attendees also have the opportunity to sit and play outside in the garden.

The youth group at The Albany was born from a recent research project by

Aleksa, who is an all-round creative, digital marketer and peer researcher.

She uses her work “as a mouthpiece for the issues experienced by young people, specifically in the areas of mental health”.

She recently conducted a peer research project, in collaboration with research partner actress Kaylah Jackson, to explore the question: “Where do young people aged 14-25 go when they aren’t at home or school, and is there a correlation between mental health and the spaces they access?”

The research was done on behalf of youth theatre collective, Sounds Like Chaos, and The Albany, and sponsored by Partnership for Young London, Greater London Authority, the Mayor of London and Rocket Science.

It explored whether the substantial decrease in funding cuts for youth services over the previous decade had an impact or correlation to the increase in mental health issues among young people – the research found that it did.

A key takeaway was that “young people desperately want and need places they can freely and safely access, that are designed for and by them, giving them autonomy over how they use the space,” explains Aleksa.

So, following the findings, they contacted The Albany to design a free youth takeover of the entire building every Tuesday from 3:30pm to 8pm for those aged 12-24.

As well as the facilities and events listed above, CAYA also has trained mentors and facilitators in the space, “because this was a direct request from the young people”, says Aleksa.

The research found that “young people need to be placed at the forefront of decision-making when designing spaces that are for them”.

As a result, when they asked young people what they wanted in a space, 93% of respondents said they wanted emotional attributes, such as mental

health support, and having relatable and trustworthy mentors in the space that listen and care for them.

Aleksa explains: “Mentors don’t come across as schoolteachers or people who exert too much authority as that takes away from it being their space. We want them to feel comfortable and autonomous in the space that is for them.”

Coming up in June, CAYA will see Creative Coding Collective and the youth theatre continuing. Plus, Monologue Writing Workshops with playwriter Eva Edo and REZON8 Music Boot Camp Phase 2.

Touching on the location for the youth takeover, Aleksa says the “best thing about being located in Deptford is the amount of diversity that exists in the area.

She explains: “We have so many schools in the neighbourhood that include young people from all different backgrounds and interests making it the ideal hotspot. The borough of Lewisham is known for its creativity and using creative tools to reach young people takes away from the typical stigmas of ‘youth clubs’.”

Charlton Athletic Announce Valley of Dreams

Charlton Athletic are proud to announce Valley of Dreams, a new ground-breaking partnership between business and football with the aim of changing lives for the better across London and the south east of England.

The partnership will be officially launched in the House of Commons on May 23rd and brings together under one banner - ring-fenced from the professional game - the multiaward-winning Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT), Charlton’s girls’ academy and boys’ academy.

Charlton were recently named the EFL Community Club of the Year with CACT delivering £49.6m in social value, directly having a positive impact of the lives of 25,000 people locally.

CACT deliver more than 65 programmes across the region including an industry-leading equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) programme, which has helped Charlton become one of only a handful of clubs to earn the EFL’s newly introduced EDI Silver award.

The club’s boys’ academy recently ranked eighth in the UK, while the girls’ academy is coming off the back of another successful season.

As part of the Valley of Dreams initiative, businesses will be able to support the club’s Grassroots to Excellence scheme, which supports young individuals in maximising their potential not just on the pitch through the club’s successful academies, but also off the pitch helping people into careers in health, education, media, business and construction.

In addition, the Valley of Dreams programmes engage young people who are at risk of becoming involved or are already involved in the criminal justice system. Through the Community Trust’s increased work across risk and violence reduction they have recognised the

importance of employing those with lived experience within their delivery team. The individuals’ unique insight places them in the best position to positively affect young people.

Paul

Valley of Dreams initiative will change the lives of young people at risk and the communities in which they live.

“We want to do so much more to play our part in impacting transformative changes across London and south east England

and through the new Valley of Dreams initiative we have such an exciting opportunity to just that.”

To register your interest in being a part of Valley of Dreams, please email website@cafc.co.uk.

Angerstein’s astonishing gardens and the birth of the National Gallery

Mills

Previous articles here I have mentioned John Julius Angerstein, the wealthy and influential banker who lived at Woodlands in Westcombe Park. I’ve usually talked about him in connection with his son’s construction of the Angerstein railway. I’ve also discussed his wealth and the fact that the National Gallery was founded on the basis of pictures which he collected and displayed at his house in Woodlands, now in Mycenae Road, Westcombe Park.

From their website I learn that the National Gallery has actually had over the weekend of 11/12 May - a big celebration for their anniversary but with no mention of Angerstein’s gallery in Westcombe Park.

The National Gallery has for a long time been very concerned about Angerstein’s links with the slave trade and has commissioned quite a bit of academic research into what exactly these links were.

Industrial History Facebook page. There is quite a bit of research by those of us without academic appointment and I will draw attention to these as much as possible.

There seem to have been slave owning estates in the West Indies over which he had some sort of legal responsibility. There is also a big issue about marine insurance. If you want to follow this up can I recommend the National Gallery website, where at the end of the history section is a list of various academics who have written about Angerstein. I have also had some material sent to me which I was intending to use on the Greenwich

I am a bit disappointed that the National Gallery in their write up about Angerstein say that he was the son of a ‘German family in Russia. We all thought that he was the secret son of a Russian empress - which is much more exciting. I would hope the National Gallery are prepared to say what their source material is for this rather boring German family origin story. Neither do they say anything about Angerstein’s Westcombe Park house - Woodlands.

Woodlands House is listed Grade I. It was built to a design by a local architect, George Gibson, and completed in the summer of 1776. After John Julius Angerstein’s death the family remained at Woodlands, but eventually it was sold and had a variety of occupants, including ship builder Yarrow. After the Great War until the mid-1960s

the house was a nunnery. The Council then bought the house and the ground floor became an art gallery – while upstairs was the local history library and archive. After they moved out it was taken over for the Steiner School, who are still there now.

So what was Woodlands like when John Julius was there? I have discovered some reports of what it described as ‘public breakfasts’ held there in the early 19th century by his daughter. I am not sure what constitutes ‘public’ with these events because I see that the guests are listed in order of title starting with royal family, moving on to the dukes present, earls present, etc so perhaps it wasn’t as public as all that. I also am not used to breakfasts in the afternoon - but you never know with the nobility.

Reports of these events say some quite interesting things about Woodlands and what people found in the grounds. I’m quoting some of these because I think they are particularly interesting - we had

no idea there was something so grand. Apologies for lots of quotations which I have cut and linked to others. There are basically three different accounts here.

“A delightful Villa, called the Woodlands. The house is a white square building, in the construction of which, ornament is judiciously used... on your approach, you pass through two gates, the second of which opens into serpentine walks, bordered with the beautiful trees and flowers, which conduct you to the front of the house.”

...You can see “boats sailing up and down the river... at several miles distance... it commands a most enchanting and picturesque view of the Thames from Limehouse to Leng Reach... a great part of Romford, Brentwood... London, Highgate, and all Essex.”

Paths diverge... various walks, bordered with roses, myrtles, and all the other tribes of the most fragrant and beautiful shrubs, the perfume of which filled the air with their delicious odours... beautiful

Mary

meandering paths, the edges of which are embroidered with shrubs and flowers, some growing in pots, others in beds, with exquisite taste.

“Three elegant marquees were erected and tables were placed on the beautiful lawn... The grand front parlour, drawing room, and dining parlour, were all laid out for breakfast. The front parlour was appropriated to the Prince of Wales and his Royal Highness’s particular friends.”

“The Conservatory: this is one of

the finest in England. It is about three hundred feet long, by fifty feet wide. Being upon the largest scale of any structure of the kind in Europe. It exhibited one of the finest pineries ever beheld in this country, together with orange and lemon trees of uncommon size and in full bearing, and a profusion of the finest flowers, shrubs and flowers, deemed the most curious and beautiful of the Cape of Good Hope, Botany Bay, India, Egypt, Tunis, and Algiers, all in full bloom, and in all the luxuriance they could boast in their native

beds. In every climate of the torrid Zone, has here a representative.”

One of the guests at the party was Sir Joseph Banks, who of course had collected and promoted plants from all around the world - bringing specimens back from foreign parts to England.

“Kitchen Garden: a space of four acres, divided into compartments, filled with every species of succulent vegetables, and abounding with strawberries, cherry trees, etc. Of the cherries, the bleeding hearts were the largest ever. At the bottom of the garden is a pile of glass, consisting of ten ranges filled with grapes, pines, melons, peaches.

“Hot-house: profusion of grapes, in all the tints, from the most delicate green, to the purple, hanging in luxuriant clusters, and with the broad and beauteous foliage and spreading branches of ‘the parent vine, forming a solid and continued ceiling. The hot-houses have apricots, & heated by stoves of a curious and

peculiar construction, for which Mr. Angerstein has obtained a patent, and not used in any other hot-house in the kingdom. The heat is regulated by thermometers, of which each house is with one.

“A gravel walk, of about a quarter of a mile in length, conducts you to the bottom of a hill, and affords a view of the front of the house, and the lawn.

“A beautiful dairy in rural simplicity, with the pails of milk arranged upon the various shelves. a curious grotto, and a farmyard, in the centre of which is a jet d’eau, cooling and refreshing the air with its streams, and presenting a beautiful picture as they played in the sun-beams.

“A large orchard well stored with fruit trees.

“The American Plantation, of curious American shrubs and flowers, collected, with infinite care, and great expense, from every part of that immense continent.

“A large basin, situated between one of the houses and the stables, into which all the rain that falls upon the roofs of all the surrounding buildings is conveyed by pipes, and forms a reservoir, from which all the hothouses are supplied with water.

“But – the event was interrupted about four o’clock, by a sudden and dreadful clap of thunder. Terror and dismay were now depictured in those lovely countenances, that a moment before beamed with life, spirit, and joy; and tears bedewed the cheeks, that were mantled with smiles. Even those who had sought shelter in the groves, finding themselves feebly protected there, from the pelting of the pitiless storm endeavoured to make their escape to the house. But before they reached it, they appeared like so many dripping VENUSES just risen from the sea. The rain continued to fall, and the thunder to roll, to the total prevention of all further amusement out of doors.”

I don’t know what to say apart from ‘oh dear’.
