The Chapel of St Peter and St Paul in the heart of historic Greenwich are re-launching their behind the scenes tour of Wren’s Dome, offering panoramic views of London. The behind the scenes tour takes visitors up a narrow, winding staircase (125 steps) to the top of the chapel. The dome is usually out of reach and will be opening for a short time only, with tours limited to 6 people at a time. Visitors are required to be physically fit in order to climb the 125 steps to the top and climb narrow wooden ladders. Wren’s dome was once used as a historic vantage point and was used to defend London during the Second World War. The Old Royal Naval College and surrounding buildings at the Royal Observatory were designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built between 1696 and 1751. When designing the Greenwich site he originally proposed a single dome, however, Queen Mary was keen to preserve the view of the Queen’s House so he created a twindomed solution still standing today. Wren also designed 51 City Churches, all with a unique spire on the top and the most famous dome he built was St.Paul’s Cathedral. Tickets for the tour include a gift pack, entry to the Painted Hall and the Discover Greenwich Museum.

Dates: From 3 April

Times: Tours at 11:30am or 1:30pm

Location: Chapel of St Peter & St Paul, Old Royal Naval College, London SE10 9NN

Dido & Aeneas to perform under the Greenwich ship

Opera production beneath Cutty Sark

Audiences on 21 May will watch performances of Dido & Aeneas beneath the suspended ship, which is the world’s only surviving tea clipper; the venue’s unique acoustics and evocative surroundings are set make for an immersive backdrop to Purcell’s drama of love and loss.

The 17th century baroque opera is based on Book IV of Virgil’s Aeneid, a Roman epic that recounts the tragic love of Dido, Queen of Carthage, for the Trojan Hero Aeneas, which will play out anew in this unique drydock production.

Dido & Aeneas is one of the first English operas written after the form became popularized through the Italian Renaissance and now, under Andrew Staples’ direction, will incorporate Purcell’s Funeral Sentences,

The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists will bring Henry Purcell’s opera to Greenwich audiences from beneath the hull of Cutty Sark this May, writes Romilly Schulte

a collection of compositions written for the funeral of Queen Mary, founder of Greenwich’s Royal Hospital of Seamen.

Andrew Staples said: “Cutty Sark offers a setting where Purcell’s world will feel astonishingly close. Beneath its suspended hull, the tensions at the heart of Dido & Aeneas - love and duty, arrival and

departure, hope and loss – will gain a new immediacy. We hope to draw the audience into that emotional tide, allowing the space itself to become part of the storytelling.”

Monteverdi Choir & Orchestras (MCO) is a charitable organisation named after early opera composer Claudio Monteverdi and supported by HM The King.

MCO leads in productions of period performances with their 2026 season beginning with a performance of J S Bach’s St John Passion in StMartin-in-the-Fields; it also boasts a discography of over 150 recordings of choral, classical and operatic works.

The cast, conducted by Jonathan Sells, features internationallyacclaimed leading soloists Karima

El Demerdasch and Hubert Zapiór, from the Komische Oper Berlin, as Dido and Aeneas, who will be joined by Johanna Wallroth and Bethany Horak-Hallett.

Cutty Sark regularly offers events aboard and beneath the ship, such as outdoor film screenings and theatrical performances, and has previously hosted similar musical concerts beneath its copper hull, including a series from the Philharmonia Orchestra and a concert by Fairport Convention in 2024.

Tickets for the opera will include early entry so that audiences can explore the ship before performances starts.

There will be two performances on Thursday 21 May at 7pm and 9pm; adult tickets start at £40.

take place on 17 April and 22 May.

Bill’s comedy nights in Woolwich are getting big SMITHFIELD MEAT MARKET

Woolwich Works is staging a series of stand-up nights, writes Tom Appleby...

The show, Big Bill’s Comedy Night, is hosted by the comedian Bilal Rashid, and features bold, grassroots comedy performed by rising entertainers.

“I’m willing to go to places that people aren’t, and take tough topics and make them silly,” said Rashid.

“I’m still a fan of crafting a joke, creating tension and bursting it. I’m dark, silly and hopefully charming in equal parts.”

Rashid has won numerous comedy awards and performed an acclaimed solo show at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe festival.

“I learned at Edinburgh that there is a huge appetite for the dark comedy sector,” he said. “This show is the only one in London that will scratch that itch, with skill, in the best possible way.”

Rashid’s comedic inspirations are Ali G, Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr.

“You will get to see the next generation of comedians coming through the ranks when they’re hungry, raw and on the way up,” he said. “You’re going to get something that you won’t get in any other club across the country.”

Each month, Rashid chooses performers from shows such as Live at the Apollo, QI and Mock the Week, as well as emerging new talent.

The last event was last weekend and the headliner of the next showcase on April 17 is Scottish Comedian of the Year winner Leo Kearse, who headlined leading clubs in the UK and abroad, touring in over 20 countries.

In addition to multiple appearances on the BBC, Leo has his own show on GB News, ‘The Saturday Night Showdown’, where he challenges political correctness and mainstream narratives, by blending satire with bold social commentary.

He will be joined by New York’s Darius Davies, winner an MTV New Talent contest plus Samuel J Love and Ryan Murphy.

The event will take place at the Beanfeast venue within Woolwich Works. Nick Williams, Director of Woolwich Works, said: “Big Bill’s Comedy Night is about providing a platform for bold voices and creating a space where new talent can truly stretch themselves.

“Comedy thrives in intimate rooms with engaged audiences, and we’re excited to give South East London a regular night that champions emerging comedians alongside established names.”

The next events will take place on Friday 17 April and Friday 22 May. Comedy fans can buy standard tickets for £13.50 Tickets and information for all shows are available online at Woolwich Works

Work to start on 64 affordable homes

Work on building 64 affordable homes for local people in Lee is expected to start this month, Pablo Munoz...

The construction of the homes on Burnt Ash Hill is part of council’s Building for Lewisham programme on the site of the old Mayfield Hostel, next to Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Lee.

The 64 new homes will comprise of 23 at social rent, while 41 will be offered for shared ownership, which allows people to buy a percentage of a property and pay rent on the remaining percentage.

The new homes will be known as Mayfield will be a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom flats, including eight fully accessible ground-floor flats, arranged in three buildings from three to six storeys in height.

The project also includes a communal garden and children’s play areas, and will be developed as a largely car-free project, although it includes six disabled parking spaces. This fits the Greater London Authority’s ‘Be Lean, Be Clean, Be Green, and Be Seen’ Energy Hierarchy.

Contractors The Hill Group are

expected to begin building onsite from Tuesday, March 31, with construction is set to be complete by early 2028. They have promised to provide at least four London Living Wage-paid apprenticeships, two T-Level placements in collaboration

with Lewisham College, and ten work experience placements for residents not in education.

The organisation will also give in-kind donations to local charities and projects, which include Urban

Synergy, a youth empowerment charity; Community Arts Project, which aims to enhance the creative landscape of the borough; and Lewisham Foodbank and Warmer Together Lewisham, initiatives that aim to fight food and heating insecurity.

THE FUEL RESEARCH STATION

Mary Mills

I’m becoming increasingly aware that many people have no idea that on the Greenwich Peninsula, where the Dome and everything is, was previously a huge and very important gas works. It was actually a collection of all sorts of works - a big gasworks making ‘town’ – coal gas; a big tar works,a chemical works and various others.

The one I want to write about today was the Fuel Research Station, which was round the back of the Pilot pub in what was then a road called Riverway.

I had always assumed that the Fuel Research organisation had grown from the gas company’s laboratories. The South Metropolitan Gas Co which owned the East Greenwich Gas works had done a considerable amount of work during the Great War on poison and explosive gases. I’ve written a very great deal about George Livesey, who was the 19th century gas company chair who set up the gas works on the Peninsula. I find it difficult to believe that he would have been enthusiastic about the various gases destined for military use as explosive and poison which the gas works produced on an industrial scale during the Great War. By the time the war started Livesey was dead and the company chair was Dr Charles Carpenter. At the end

of the war the company produced a booklet outlining wartime activity, which included a chapter by Carpenter outlining with apparent enthusiasm some of these products and the research which had preceded them. Whatever, it is easy to imagine that he had also been involved in setting up the Fuel Research organisation.

It turns out that I was completely wrong about this. The fuel research body was during the Great War and it comes as a relief to discover that the Government during the Great War did do things like planning for the future and weren’t only sending thousands of young men to their deaths on the Somme. The mining of coal, its use and sale, the setting

up of the gas industry had all been done, unregulated, by ‘private enterprise’. Was setting up this research organisation an attempt to evaluate national resources and to regulate their use accordingly?

The organisation was the idea of George Thomas Bielby, a distinguished Scottish chemist with an interest, among many others, of developments in coal based fuels and related subjects. In 1912 he was a member of the Royal Commission on Fuel and Engines for the Navy. During the Great War he was the Director of the Fuel Research Board and was responsible for setting up the research body.

Initially it had two objectives: one of which was to research and classify all coal seams in the country. Initially this was referred to staff at Imperial College in South Kensington, but eventually a large network was set up to deal with this and to work as a part of the new research body. This consisted of nine specialist regional Coal Survey laboratories.

By 1945 57 reports had been produced – but did not include any mention of the Kent coal field.

Initially the other main research objective was about the processing of raw coal into different types of fuel - it is said that this was because of concerns in fuelling naval vessels. It was realised that the research building should be near a gasworks and Bielby approached Charles Carpenter to see if the South Metropolitan Works at East Greenwich could help. East Greenwich was then, and was to remain, the most modern gasworks in the whole country, very large and on the cutting of technology. It was an obvious choice. A site was soon agreed at a peppercorn rent with access to a number of facilities including the Phoenix chemical works and also the rail link into the gas works. A building was constructed for them here by the South Metropolitan Gas Works. It was claimed that this building was designed and erected by the local of firm of builders, Edge, who included it in their company history, But please see one of my earlier articles about that Company.

News reports of the setting up of the facility at Greenwich give a number of subjects on which the research work needed to be done. I think that it was fundamentally felt that the nation

needed to look at its coal reserves to see how they could best be used efficiently. In particular, what was the best way to use coal to generate electricity and also what will become a huge need for ‘motor spirit’ in the future. How much coal have we got? How can it be used most efficiently? We have forgotten that there was a time when oil did not come in tankers. Petrol was invented just across the River in Hackney Wick by Carless who also developed aviation spirit there. Next time you see a film about the Battle of Britain keep in mind - I was told that the Coalite plant at the local gas works could keep seven squadrons in the air.

It was announced that the new Greenwich facility ‘will be designed and equipped in such a manner that operations on an industrial scale can be conducted under working conditions.’ Initially seven chemists were employed - and were provided with their own small gas works to experiment with.

In addition to coal; the researchers were asked to look at Irish peat - an energy resource which today barely registers. In April 1921 100 tons were

delivered to the station in Greenwich so that work on it could start. A lecture and paper on Peat Resources in Ireland was produced in 1919.

There were reports that ’oil fuel is beginning to have a serious effect upon the coal industry... our greatest scientists and chemists are working at high pressure ... to save the coal industry, and at Greenwich... making secret experiments in distilling oil from coal ... to make Britain independent of foreign countries for her oil supplies and prevent the closing of pits, and consequent unemployment.’ In May 1925 a deputation of Members of Parliament visited the Greenwich facility panicked by all the reasons for a crisis and reported favourable work on coal oils. The Prime Minister, Tory Stanley Baldwin, described the problems in the coal industry and said how research in Greenwich would solve it - ”it will give this country probably the greatest push forward in development that it has had since the discovery of steam.”

By 1930 an experimental low carbonisation plant was being run at Richmond Gas Works in what was then still Surrey at works owned by the north London Gas Light and Coke

Co and apparently installed at the request of the Government. Soon workers at Greenwich could boast of making ‘super grade petrol’ from ‘worthless tar’. Petrol costing 3 ½d a gallon could be made for 2 ½d.

(For you poor souls - readerswho can’t convert thruppence or tuppence ‘apence to today’s money – both of them are nearest to a penny – 2p...... for a gallon?)

In 1934 the site was visited by a party made up of hundreds of industrialists and eminent scientists. Reporting in The Kentish Independent it was obviously felt necessary to explain to local people what this building on their doorstep was all about. They reported ‘ the main object of the work is the application of the better use of the coal resources of the country, which still remain Great Britain’s most important material asset and the foundation of her industrial greatness.”

1939 meant the start of the Second World War. Immediately war was declared in 1939 the whole of the knowledge and experience was put at the disposal of the Ministry of Fuel and Power, Service and Supply

Departments. Its trained scientists and technicians dealt ably and enthusiastically with the many items of special work which were undertaken. The Fuel Research organisation had accumulated a fund of experience and information on fuels of all kinds.

War work included the development of gas producers, using anthracite and coke to replace petrol for road vehicles. They made hydrogen for barrage balloons, contributing sufficient to fill completely more than 11,000. The problem of the smoke emitted from ships’ convoys was vigorously attacked, and as a result of intensive research a smoke eliminating device was designed and developed at Greenwich. Other activitied included the devising and development of incendiary weapons. Some Commonwealth countries were

worried that their sources of oil were American and asked for support and help in developing their coal industries in a reasonable and economic fashion.

After the war, at the 1948 Olympics, the torch carried eventually to Mount Olympus was designed and, along with the fuel used, at the Greenwich laboratories. Nearer home in 1949 they were involved in work with the East Malling fruit research organisation to find a method of heating to save fruit from early frosts.

On 20th March 1952 – only a month after his wife had become Queen –Prince Philip visited. He was described as a ‘good looking young man who drove his large Austin through the streets of Greenwich.’ He watched experiments on smoke elimination and combustion of pulverised coal. In the

domestic heating section he looked at currrent research. He watched work on making oil from coal by synthetic processes. He talked to many workers - like Charles Guest of Charlton, the longest serving blacksmith and with Audrey French who was examining moisture content in fuel. I could go on and on about all the various inventions and developments which happened here and the subject really needs a proper analysis and an extended essay. I’ve hardly touched on the work they did here here in Greenwich. The organisation was closed down in the mid 50s and the laboratory and all the experts were moved to Warren Springs site and it has been reorganised more than once since. Their bibliography, published in 1945, lists over 600 published reports and papers.

Could you spot the signs of modern slavery? We have our winners! 2026

Modern slavery is a growing but often hidden problem in the UK. It includes human trafficking, forced labour, servitude and exploitation for personal or financial gain. Victims are often controlled through threats, deception or false promises of a better life.

Signs that a person is a victim of modern slavery can be hard to spot and can include noticing someone...

• who appears anxious, withdrawn, or controlled by others

• living in poor conditions

• working long hours without pay

• seeming fearful of authorities

• being picked up and dropped off from work at unusual times

• not being sure of their own address.

If you have any concerns that someone you know may be a victim of modern slavery or human trafficking, please contact the police by calling 101 or the Modern Slavery Helpline on 0800 0121 700 .

For local advice and guidance email the council on modern-slavery@royalgreenwich.gov.uk

The council’s new ‘Combatting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Plan’ will focus on how the council works with partners to prevent exploitation, identify and support victims and bring perpetrators to justice. Read the full plan: royalgreenwich.gov.uk/modern-slavery
