Comedian Jack Dee to raise the roof of the Churchill He’s the star of sitcoms Bad Move and Lead Balloon, and the host of Radio 4 show I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. Now, comedian and presenter Jack Dee has stepped beyond the TV to tour a solo standup show: Jack Dee Off the Telly. The routine, which bears all the hallmarks of the comedian’s signature fed-up-with-the-world style, comes to Bromley’s Churchill Theatre on Sunday February 23, writes Holly O’Mahony…

4 February 19 2020

One of the most renowned comedians in the UK, Jack became a well-known name on the circuit back in 1991, when he won the highly sought after British Comedy Award, while the same year saw him nominated for the Perrier Comedy Award, the top prize at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Since then, he’s taken sell-out tours across the UK and performed at the country’s most prestigious venues: the London Palladium, Eventim Apollo, The O2 and Royal Albert Hall among them. However, Jack Dee off the Telly is his first solo show in seven years.

The Guardian’s Brian Logan, who

reviewed the show back in December 2019, said: “Grumpy was always Dee’s best tune, and the record isn’t changing in Off the Telly, his first standup tour for seven years. Charity fundraisers, secondhand shops, electric cars, smashed avocado: you name it, Dee’s teed off about it, sometimes to a sublime degree.”

See what else Jack bemoans for laughs at the Churchill Theatre this Sunday.

Jack Dee Off the Telly is on at Churchill Theatre, High Street, Bromley BR1 1HA. February 23 at 8pm.

Admission: £26.50. www.churchilltheatre.co.uk/Online/ default.asp

Drag Queen Story Time: fun and inclusive storytelling for children Drag Queen Story Time sees fairy tales brought to life for children by local drag queens, in a bid to capture the imagination and fun of the gender fluidity of childhood. The initiative is coming to Canada Water Children’s Library, in collaboration with the Albany, as part of LGBT+ History Month, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Based on Michelle Tea and RADAR Productions’ Drag Queen Story Hour in San Francisco, Drag Queen Story Time has grown significantly since it was founded in 2017. Three years on and the initiative is performed across the UK at schools, nurseries, libraries, festivals and Pride events.

The aim? To provide a safe, fun and inclusive environment in which children, teachers and parents can encounter LGBTQ+ representation.

Its founders say that by providing spaces in which children are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions, Drag Queen Story Time allows children to imagine the world in which people can present as they wish. The events create a space where dress up is real, while giving children amorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.

Crucially, the team behind it hope that in introducing ‘difference’ as positive, they’ll be able to prevent homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying. And with The Stonewall School’s Report finding nearly half of LGBT pupils (45 per cent) are bullied in British schools, projects like Drag Queen Story Time have never felt more relevant.

For the drag queens taking part, Drag Queen Story Time is a combination of activism and storytelling. As for which stories are told, it varies from one event to the next, but titles on the roster include Meryl G Gordon’s The Flower Girl Wore Celery and Marcus Ewert’s 10,000 Dresses, along with other stories that promote defying conventional roles and stereotypes.

If you’ve got little ones of primary school age, Drag Queen Story Time is not to be missed.

Drag Queen Story Time is taking place at Canada Water Children’s Library, 21 Surrey Quays Road, Rotherhithe, London SE16 7AR. February 21 at 11am and 2pm. Admission: pay what you decide. www. dragqueenstorytime.com/diary/ canada-water-childrens-library Visitors can also take inspiration from the museum’s array of Chinese flags to create their own using collage and block printing; discover the Chinese art of paper cutting in a special workshop hosted by the Confucius Institute; and learn to play China’s famous tile-based game mahjong.

Wherever the day takes you, don’t forget to head to the museum’s Great Map to catch traditional song and dance performances by Step Out Arts, the Guizhou Song and Dance Ensemble.

The National Maritime Museum recommends guests arrive early as the venue is likely to be busy on this day. Spaces for certain activities will be limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cost £3 per dream catcher. www.thewoodlandsfarmtrust.org/

History

Where something fishy went on Mary Mills I left the walk along the Greenwich Riverside at the corner of Horse Ferry Road.

This article is going to be about Greenwich and fish – but we need to get to Billingsgate first If we walk either along the riverside or along Thames Street we are among the flats of Greenwich Council’s Meridian Estate. This was begun in 1933, added to in 1939 and again after the Second World War It was built by the London County Council and demonstrates their commitment to quality design and construction in housing - when these flats were built they were in a rough and dirty area. The estate still looks good with what is now one of the most desirable locations in the Borough.

It is here – on the lane called Wood Wharf that ran between the river and the wharves that the industries remained until relatively recently.

There were a number of barge repair works, and indeed barge builders and breakers, as well as a site used by the Anglo-Swedish welding company and many others. Ron Richards’s book, which I mentioned last time ‘Victorian Wood Wharf’ lists many of them. He describes how he began work in 1954 at one of the largest of these sites – Orient Lighterage. (I explained in an earlier article how ‘lighterage ‘meant the management of moving goods around the port in ‘dumb’ barges, called ‘lighters’). Orient was in the tea trade taking the tea from ships in Tilbury or the Royal Docks to bonded warehouses at Wapping and elsewhere. They were a big company with many staff at several sites but containerisation led to their closure and move to Basildon in 1971. They seem to have gone out of business a couple of years ago.

On the riverside here is a cannon - I am a bit confused why that is there – there was I think a Cannon Wharf here which I can find nothing about. Can anyone else help? I remember ‘the famous Reg’ telling me that the riverside here was privately owned and they could use it to change the Council plans for a boring walkway. Hmmmm – he was trying to buy the Charing Cross floating pier and move it there with a view to becoming a rival to Greenwich Pier. In the future I will try and describe how that had been done before in Georgian times.

We need to get to Billingsgate. Thames Street soon reaches children’s play area and garden – designed to keep

10 February 19 2020

tourists away from people’s homes. It then becomes Welland Street and then we are in Greenwich Church Street .

Up to the 1950s it met a different road called Billingsgate Street. This ran down to the river and Billingsgate Dock, which is the square inlet to the river more or less behind the Foot Tunnel.

In fact Billingsgate Street is still there but we just can’ see it - it goes from the junction of Welland Street and Church Street down to the river running along beside the edge of Cutty Sark Gardens.

‘But’ you are going to say ‘Billingsgate fish market was in the City’. And so it was – there were two, and this was the other one. The only connection which I know of between them there was a Saxon Princess who owned Greenwich and gave it to St.Peter’s Abbey in Ghent and she also owned the bit of the City where Billingsgate fish market used to be.

Greenwich’s Billingsgate was not just about fish – in the Middle Ages it was the main dock for the town. However Greenwich was to become a big fishing port with a fish market further to the east at Ship Stairs which were roughly at the far end of Greenwich Pier. Fisher Lane ran along the riverside between Billingsgate and the fish market.

Much of this area was changed in the 19th century by Greenwich Hospital Estates. An Act of Parliament in 1850 gave them power over Billingsgate Dock and enable its public use. Recent excavation has shown this was a draw dock – where boats could be pulled up a ramp out of the water. There are a number of detailed articles on the Greenwich Industrial History blog about this. www.greenwichindustrialhistory. blogspot.com Fishing has clearly been carried out along the Thames since time immemorial – obviously as source of food in a subsistence economy.

There are scattered references to Greenwich fishermen in the Middle Ages by which time it had become more regulated and commercial. In 1349 some Greenwich fishermen were accused of using a net which were too large and had to answer to the Lord Mayor. The City was by then the regulatory body and Fishmongers Hall enforced inspection. The trade grew through the succeeding centuries and was often concentrated in successive generations of families. In 1862 thirty seven fishing craft were registered at Greenwich and this may have represented the peak of the trade.

In the early 19th century various noxious trades were dumping their effluent in the River and the resulting level of pollution caused real problems to fishermen. . Greenwich fishermen were already looking well beyond the Thames for fish . George Beasley recorded that he was ten years old when he first went to Iceland with his father and there were ten tons of preservative salt on board. The following year thirty or forty fishing boats went. He said that his father was away for six month on these trips catching cod in snow and ice. The fish were left in the Shetlands until they picked them up on their return trip. The North Sea fishery was the major destination of Greenwich fishermen while Barking men continued fishing the River, and Gravesend men concentrated on shellfish.

By the 1860s Greenwich fishermen were beginning to move to Grimsby and base themselves there. In 1845 the Grimsby Dock Company had been set up with rail links to London – and in 1854 were sending hundreds of tons

of fish a year into London. Greenwich fishermen also went to Aldeburgh and to Hull. There have been a number of short studies of Greenwich fishing and all mention the move to Grimsby – but I must say that Grimsby heritage outlets make no mention of Greenwich and queries are met with incredulity.

A side road here was Brewhouse Lane named after a brewery owned by a Captain Barrett in 1695. There was also a pub in the lane called ‘Fubb’s Yacht’ - named after a Royal Yacht which was itself named after one of Charles II’s chubbier mistresses - Louise de Kerouaille.

Other Industries here included Dodd’s Wharf, which had a sign that could be seen from the river and they had a general wharf where coal, and other goods, was transferred using boats and barges. Here also was Huntley’s coal yard with an overhead rail system to and from the riverside. Another firm was Noakes who supplied hay and straw for all the horses, they had in those days. A family member invented the Noakesoscope which was a picture projection system – a group from GLIAS witnessed a demonstration of it from a machine which had survived into the 1970s. The largest and latest firm these sites was Coneybeare ‘marine engineers and boiler makers’ and worked all sorts of metal components.

All of this area was cleared by the 1950s, partly by World War II bombing and partly when the Cutty Sark was installed . Before that views from the river show some impressive weather boarded buildings –traditional Kentish style, like the ones which were in Gravesend and cleared around he same time. Today tourists wander round the empty spaces of Cutty Sark Gardens when, I am sure, they would rather see the old Greenwich they thought they had read about. A few years ago I recall one Council officer arguing that perhaps we should rebuild the old riverside village – it would be an attraction and provide much needed shelter for Cutty Sark. But, no, we just got some garish chain fast food restaurants instead.

news from charlton athletic community trust

Charlton Invicta wins Football v Homophobia Award Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) Invicta FC, the LGBTQI+ friendly team affiliated to CACT, gained national recognition at the Football v Homophobia awards on Friday 7 February.

CACT Invicta, the first LGBTQI+ team to become affiliated to a professional club’s community trust in 2017, scooped the Football v Homophobia Grassroots Football award.

Charlton Athletic came second in the Football v Homophobia Professional Game category, being pipped by Tottenham Hotspur.

Rob Harris, Chair of Charlton’s official LGBTQI+ supporters’ group, the Proud Valiants, was awarded third in Football v Homophobia Hero category.

The inaugural awards ceremony, which took place at Altrincham FC, celebrated the work clubs undertake up and down the country on tackling homophobia in football.

Three representatives from CACT Invicta attended the evening, playermanager Gary Ginnaw, and playing pair Sam Timms and Daniel Crump.

“Historically, the club has always led the way in all fields of diversity and I’m delighted that proud legacy is being upheld.”

Dr Michael Seeraj, CACT’s Head of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, said: “This is a fantastic achievement, and testament to how far CACT Invicta have travelled since first affiliating.

“There is an incredible amount of hard work that goes on behind the scenes, and this really does recognise the dedication of all those involved.”

Charlton Athletic’s match against Luton Town on Saturday 22 February will be the annual Charlton v Homophobia matchday, as the Club continues its strides to help get rid of homophobia in football.

Speaking after the event, Gary said: “It is testament to all the hard work we do on and off the pitch to ensure that football is a safe, welcoming and friendly environment for everyone to be themselves.

“The partnership we have with CACT and the support from Charlton Athletic has been pivotal in helping us to better engage with local communities.”

Charlton Athletic Chief Executive, Matt Southall, said: “Everybody should be incredibly proud of the achievements of the club and those connected to Charlton at the awards.
