Recreating Nelson’s final farewell After Admiral Lord Nelson lost his life leading the British Royal Navy to victory during the Battle of Trafalgar, his body was brought to the Royal Hospital for Seamen – now the Old Royal Naval College (ORNC) – until his lying in state, when carriages from all across London and beyond came to pay their respects. That room, positioned off the famous Painted Hall, was later named the Nelson Room in his honour. Now, following a period of introspection for the World Heritage Site, the room has been reopened to the public, with an all new audio-visual experience bringing its history to life, writes Holly O’Mahony… 4 April 6 2022
As long-standing culture vultures and those who have lived in the borough for some time might recall, a similar reopening happened once before, when the Nelson Room threw open its doors to the public for the first time in 70 years back in 2005. But back then, the offering was much more static.
Planning the colour scheme, conservation and interpretation approach took another year and then building work started on the room at the start of 2021. The room had needed renovating for a few years. We really wanted to bring it up to the same standard as the newly restored Painted Hall.
At the centre of the redesign is a drive to bring a new wave of visitors closer to the historical figure, through looking at how the public reacted when the national hero died. Through a new bronze sculpture by Antony Dufort, it also celebrates the role of the Greenwich Pensioners (the Naval equivalent to the Chelsea Pensioners) who bravely fought in the Battle of Trafalgar.
HOM: The room itself opened to the public in 2005, but back then it was much less interactive. What was the thinking behind the Nelson Room as an attraction then, and how has that shifted for the recent renovation?
I spoke to Claire Kirk, Head of Learning, Interpretation and Collections at the Old Royal Naval College, to find out more… Holly O’Mahony: The relaunch of the Nelson Room is a pretty monumental event. How and why has it come about? Claire Kirk: We started thinking about renovating the room towards the end of 2018, and secured the funding in 2019. editorial@weekender.co.uk
CK: The 2005 renovation was mainly about conserving the fabric of the building. At that point the walls were still tiled from the days when it was a kitchen. The current renovation was more about engaging our visitors in our architecture and stories. We also want to bring a sense of continuity between the Nelson Room and the Painted Hall. HOM: What will visitors be able to see and hear as part of the tour? CK: The newly renovated Nelson Room now www.weekender.co.uk
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
HOM: What are the highlights of the new Nelson Room? CK: The audio-visual experience really brings to life the story of Nelson and the reaction his death provoked at the time. I also really love the Pepper’s Ghost – the illustrations are just magical! HOM: It does sound magical. What made you choose to use a Pepper’s Ghost hologram to recreate Nelson? CK: We chose the Pepper’s Ghost to represent the lying in state because we felt it brought out the sense of theatre that would have pervaded the ritual. It would have been a very solemn and emotional experience. We hope the special effects will appeal to younger visitors. HOM: There’s also a new sculpture paying tribute to the Greenwich

has an immersive audio-visual experience, which tells the story of how the country reacted to the death of Admiral Lord Nelson, after the Battle of Trafalgar. We also have new interpretation panels that look at the links between Nelson and Greenwich. There is a Pepper’s Ghost [a theatrical hologram trick] display that shows a ‘paper theatre’ style version of the lying in state, which took place in the Painted Hall. The room itself is much changed, with repairs having been made to the stonework and roof lantern. The room’s colour scheme has been darkened to provide a smoother transition between the Nelson Room and the Painted Hall.
Pensioners. How did this come about? CK: We wanted a new artistic commission in the room and one that celebrated the Greenwich Pensioners and their relationship with Nelson. We approached the sculptor Antony Dufort, who came up with the wonderful concept of a group of Trafalgar veterans reminiscing about the Battle, once moored at the former Royal Hospital for Seamen in Greenwich. HOM: What will a multimedia guide offer visitors that they couldn’t experience before? CK: The new additions to the multimedia guide provide a huge amount of new information about the history of the Nelson Room, as well as how the renovation process was carried out. The guide has allowed us to showcase interesting details about the conservation work, such as historic paint analysis. We also have sections exploring the individuals depicted in Antony Dufort’s sculpture and the Nelson Pediment, which you can see out in the nearby courtyard. The Nelson Room is now open at the Old Royal Naval College, King William Walk, Greenwich SE10 9NN. Open daily, 10am 5pm. Admission: £13.50/£7.50 concessions. www.ornc.org/

Beers and beats at Meantime Brewery
Record Store Day, a day of celebrating independent record stores and their musicfanatic owners around the world, is the UK’s biggest vinyl event. Falling on April 9, the 15th annual Record Store Day is being marked at Meantime Brewery in Greenwich with a day-long live music festival, writes Holly O’Mahony…
Founded in Baltimore in 2007 by Bull Moose Music’s Chris Brown and Criminal Records’ Eric Levin, Record Store Day is recognised around the world, with individual stores marking it in their own way. At home in Greenwich, Meantime Brewery’s offering comprises six hours of live music, local street food and rare vinyls as part of its festival dubbed Meantime presents Record Store Day Live. Headlining the festival is soul singer-songwriter Samm Henshaw (whose debut album Untidy Soul is available now) and self-described G-folk artist Hak Baker (Misled), whose signature blend of indie, folk and rap comes together in what he describes as ‘G-folk’. Visitors will also be able to catch sets from punk-funk groovers Do Nothing and punk-soul act Sister Cookie. The festival is being hosted by BBC Music Introducing’s Jess Iszatt, who will be keeping spirits perked all afternoon, while DJ sets and talks from guest speakers will keep visitors entertained between performances. Meantime has brewed an exclusive, limited-edition beer for the occasion,

too. Called B-Side, the 4.8% ABV ‘No Coast IPA’ is a beer of the world, made with modern hop varieties from the US, UK and Germany. In between music sets and bar stops, attendees will be able to browse a vinyl market exhibiting records from some of London’s leading record stores – Peckham Soul and Leyton’s Dreamhouse London among them – and pick up rare collectibles and branded merchandise to take home. With special pressings being released in honour of Record Store Day, even those in possession of a sizable record collection will find something to take home. Meantime presents Record Store Day Live is also in aid of a good cause: tickets cost £12.50, with all proceeds raised going towards War Child, a charity supporting vulnerable children caught up in world conflicts, from Ukraine to Yemen. Joshua Smith, Marketing Manager at Meantime Brewing, said: “Meantime has a long-standing connection to music, from the early days of the Beer Box outside the O2 Arena to its recent work with South London www.weekender.co.uk
Food & Drink jazz musician Moses Boyd. Beer and music have gone hand-in-hand for thousands of years so it’s only natural that the brewery will unveil the Official Beer of Record Store Day to help celebrate the special occasion of Record Store Day Live.” Record Store Day coordinator Megan Page said: “Record Store Day has a long history of bringing people together to celebrate their shared love of music, vinyl and record shop culture – and Record Store Day Live is set to make these celebrations bigger and better than ever before! “As Record Store Day gears up to celebrate its 15th anniversary, this amazing Meantime collaboration will be a one-of-a kind event featuring a whole day of exceptional performances, tasty food and of course – our favourite beer! And to top it all off, we are delighted that all proceeds will go towards supporting Record Store Day’s Official Charity Partner, War Child, and the amazing work that they do.” Meantime presents Record Store Day Live is taking place at Meantime Brewery, Lawrence Trading Estate, Blackwall Lane, London SE10 0AR. April 9, 3pm - 9pm. Admission: £12.50. Proceeds raised are being donated to the festival’s charity partner War Child. www.seetickets.com/event/meantimepresents-record-store-day-live/ meantime-brewery/2291655

History
The wharves before the railway line
Mary Mills Working down Deptford Creek wharf by wharf on the Lewisham bank we have now come to the Greenwich Railway and its viaduct. I am however acutely aware that as I’ve gone along I’ve left a lot of gaps - some of them I will pick up on later but I want, at least, to clear up some of the background on the last two wharves I did – the last before the railway line. These are the two with the big art projects on them - one the APT organisation and building and the other, next door, Fuel Tank, on the Faircharm Estate. I’ve been very nervous about writing up these two sites because I’m sure that both are stuffed full with people who know far more than I do, with access to documents I don’t have and that both of them will have commissioned histories at some stage or another. Many, many years ago I was asked to the APT building to give a short presentation on what I knew about the history of the site and I went on and on about Frank Hills. They were massively unimpressed and I’m sorry to say they didn’t share my enthusiasm for the wicked and entertaining Mr. Hills - but never mind. I have already written about the Royal Slaughter House which covered much of these sites in the Tudor period and later on what was later called Harold Wharf. The Conservation Area Report writes about this but then leaves a massive gap between the Tudor slaughterhouse and the 20th Century APT building. I would like to be able to fill in something in between but it isn’t easy. I understand from some sources that there was a pottery on APT site making what
10 April 6 2022
they call ‘red ware’ which is what you and I would see as chimney pots and flowerpots and all the rough stuff that we need but which isn’t very ornamental. I had intended to do a special article on Deptford potteries but I can’t right now – and, yes, this is yet another excuse. There is a very important article about potteries in Deptford which I would like to see before I write something them – I have now been waiting nearly two months for a copy of the article which is supposed to have been posted to me on 2nd February. I’m beginning to get a bit cross about it because a pottery article would fit in very nicely here and once I get a bit further down the Creek they will become irrelevant. The Conservation Report tells us that the APT building was built and designed by local architect, Alfred Roberts, in 1911 and thus is confirmed in official records which also say that it was commissioned by the occupiers of the site who were J. & A Dandridge Ltd. It is very nice building and I’m a bit perplexed by it because Dandridge
to design their building resulted from his legacy 12 years earlier? Nothing else about Dandridge appears to be even remotely posh. In pre-Second World War newspaper reports are a couple of convictions for permitting unfit horses to be used by their carters. In one such case in 1926 there was a Greenwich Police Court summons for both the driver and the Company because of the state the poor horse was in. Throughout the Second World War there are many advertisements in the local press for people to work in various office jobs. For example in 1942 an advertisement for a shorthand typist - a boy or a girl. Another advertisement is for an experienced forewoman – and there are many others. This somewhere recalls the atmosphere in several of the small works where found myself temping in the 1960s –loud mouthed, ignorant men, office dragon, young women complaining, and a general air of sexism and boredom. don’t strike me as a particularly wealthy or prestigious organisation who might need something like this. They are described from the start as ‘Rag and Metal Merchants’ - which isn’t an upmarket trade by anybody standards. In Deptford directories from the 19th Century there are number of people called ‘Dandridge’ and one them has a print works in Church Street and I wonder if the original idea was for a business rather more upmarket than we
ended up with here. In 1899 there was a sale of a number of small properties in the area around Creek Street which had been owned by a James Dandridge of Deptford who had died. That Dandridges owned property in the area is also confirmed by a case in 1930 when they evicted an elderly widow from premises they wanted for other uses. I wondered if James Dandridge was anything to do with the firm and if commissioning Alfred Roberts editorial@weekender.co.uk
After the war through the 50s and 60s, there are newspaper advertisements for sales of various this and thats from Dandridges. They appear in the small columns where firms with the lowest quality stock are found. They sold things like a job lot of anoraks ‘must be shifted quickly’ or bargain packs of tea towels ‘A Must for Christmas’. It’s all a bit reminiscent of Arthur Daley. Dandrige were apparently replaced in the building by an organisation www.weekender.co.uk
History
The company seems to have gone out of business by the early 1990s and the building was then taken over by the Art in Perpetuity Trust, which is, of course, still there. They have since bought the building and done lots of interesting and exciting things. But better you read what they say about themselves rather than what I have to say. One of those exciting things will be in mid April when they will host ‘Creekshow’ at the Gallery. The website is https:// www.aptstudios.org/exhibitions2223_creekside
On maps from the 1940s and 50s the site is marked as a timber works –which makes sense in that it had space and warehousing where timber could be stored. Faircharm say that it was previously used as a factory for Zenith Carburetors and that there is signage from Zenith still on the buildings. Zenith was based in Stanmore in Middlesex and in the Harrow area and they had a number of factories of which Deptford was one. I don’t know when they moved there or what sort of scale of manufacture was undertaken there. Zenith was a major company making equipment for many different types of cars and lorries and also had a large export business. None of the available information describes the Deptford works but official reports say that they had an establishment of 10 to 16 tool room workers who would be qualified tool makers. That doesn’t sound very large to me. The site shown on the 1897 insurance plan when Hills still had it was large and complex – as the site appears to us today. In the 19th century three small side roads ran off Creekside towards the Creek and they remain giving access to most parts of what is still a large and complex site.
There are various snippets of information which may or may not relate to what was going on the old Hills Wharf, It was called ‘Raleigh Wharf’ for a while and in 1919 a fire is recorded on Raleigh Wharf which did damage worth many thousands of pounds and destroying the drying apparatus belonging to Davis Seed Crushers - who were they? Also in 1919 there is an advertisement to buy firewood there. In 1925 Vigiars Brothers advertised for staff there to run their eight
Faircharm acquired the old works at some point in the 1990s. Perhaps I should say here that I am very grateful to the nice man from Faircharm who gave me a copy of Christopher Philpotts amazing ‘desktop’ on the history and archaeology of Deptford Creek for which I remain incredibly grateful. The site is now changing with flats being built on the side of the Creek and new business units and more for the considerable number of people who must work here. It’s called Fuel Tank, but I guess that will change.

The other place where I have given very little background in earlier articles is the Faircharm site which was until 1905 the Hills Chemical works. This is even more difficult - we know that Hills family had gone but what happened there for the next eighty or so years are a complete mystery. A number of businesses seem to have come and gone and Faircharm itself says the chemical works continued until the Second World War, but I’m not sure that’s true.

which was relatively recent but which is even more mysterious to me. This was Stewart and Dennis who were a sheet metal company. I am fascinated by a report in one of the descriptions of them by of people who say they can remember Stewart and Dennis testing hovercraft on Deptford Creek - particularly as I can’t find any newspaper or other reports to back it up. Did it really happen? Can anybody tell me? Are there any photographs? After all this is only 30 or 40 years ago.

programme. There’s always a lot of joy for people on this particular walk. From my experience, the people doing the walk love a bit of conversation and it always ends up being a fantastic day!” There are still spaces to join Bob & Paul on the walk all whilst helping to raise money for the Upbeats. To book your free place, please visit: cact. gives/event/3/upbeats-walk-2022
“It’s nice to get together with a group of fans and the Upbeats themselves once again. The fundraising is important to keep the programme going for all participants and their families. “We’ve missed it a bit, it feels like it’s been such a long time to get together as a group for such a special
