News from the Royal Borough of Greenwich

Playing our part to tackle the climate crisis One of the Council’s new priorities is to tackle the climate crisis and making the borough cleaner and greener for us all – moving Towards Zero Waste is a vital step towards that.

Making this happen falls into my cabinet portfolio focus of protecting the environment.

In order to make a difference, it’s essential that we all work together. I urge local residents, businesses and organisations to join us in taking action against climate change.

In 2019, the Council declared a climate emergency. We set an ambitious goal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030 and we’ve already made great progress. Our Carbon Neutral Plan was published in February 2022, developed in consultation with you, our local community.

By fitting existing council-owned properties with the technology needed to reduce our carbon footprint, we’re already tackling emissions and created new jobs.

We’ve also secured £2.8 million funding to help local

homeowners make their homes more efficient and reduce energy costs.

We’re working towards electrifying our council vehicle fleet and trialed the world’s first completely electric bin lorry.

We’re installing more electric vehicle charging points to help local residents and businesses transition too and invested £1million into cycle safety schemes.

What can you do?

Recycle

The internationally renowned Cirque du Soleil returns to London this summer, performing its latest show Corteo at the O2 arena in Greenwich. Due to run in 2021 but postponed because of the pandemic, the show is pitched as a ‘joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown’. Yep, this is where theatre meets circus: audiences follow the clown as he pictures his own funeral which, far from being a sombre affair, is a riot of a good time laced with comedy, acrobatics and a carnival atmosphere.

Lewisham’s annual People’s Day is back – and it’s bigger and livelier than ever

It’s proudly south-east London’s longest-running, free outdoor festival and it’s back for the first time in four years: People’s Day 2022 is set to take over Mountsfield Park in Catford this Saturday, July 16, championing local talent and traders, and celebrating a Lewisham reunited following the pandemic years. With Lewisham crowned London’s Borough of Culture this year, it’s set to be the biggest, liveliest iteration of the festival yet, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Lewisham’s People’s Day has been running since 1985 and local Councillor James-J Walsh, Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, has been attending for nearly as long. “I’m a Lewisham man born and raised. I used to go to People’s Day back when I was a nipper, so it’s been around for a mighty long time. My first one was probably in the 90s!,” he says, when we speak about the event, which is organised by We Are Lewisham.

“I’ve got amazing memories of being on a playbus that takes you there, then taking my baby sister on the playbus [so] it’s really nostalgic,” he smiles. “It’s a great family day, it’s one of the biggest events we run in Lewisham.” For Cllr Walsh and his fellow representatives organising the festival, it’s “not just having the event back itself, but all the artists and industries that get supported around it,” that’s exciting.

For residents and curious visitors coming from further afield, the line-up will be a big pull. Here’s who’s performing this year…

together a line-up of undiscovered musicians worthy of recognition, alongside rappers Koder and Don Strapzy and CassKidd.

The Main Stage

Cllr Walsh adds that as the Blue Borough Stage is where there will be “a lot of artists who are currently unsigned, it’s going to mean a lot for our young people to see other young people who are making it in the arts and culture industry.”

South London disco group All Day Breakfast Café will be getting the crowds bopping, while solo artist and former member of The Slits Hollie Cook is bringing her own brand of ‘tropical pop’ to the stage, and local favourite, the Grammy-nominated reggae singer Tippa Irie, is also headlining.

The Blue Borough Stage It’s chiefly about celebrating homegrown talent on the Blue Borough Stage, where grime MC Novelist is headlining, singer-songwriter Nina Rose is also performing, and Lewisham-raised BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ Shahlaa Tahira has put

Unit 137 Sound System Keeping the decks spinning and the beats pumping is Unit 137 Sound System, which celebrates its 10th birthday this year. DEM1NS, Bun Dem Out Records, Lionz Den, Síbín, Alchemy Allstars and Daisy Roots Movement all have a stake here, and there’s a merchandise stall

by Done London for those looking to take home a keepsake.

The Kids’ Stage Not to be missed by families bringing sprogs, the Kids’ Stage is being taken over this year by The Flying Seagull Project, a group of travelling clowns, musicians and entertainers, calling in at People’s Day between visits to refugee camps around the world, where they provide comic relief for little ones caught up in conflicts.

“There’s a family Big Top tent [and] lots of things for younger people to engage with,” adds Cllr Walsh. “There will be aerial performers dressing up as DC Comic characters,” he reveals.

Has People’s Day changed much over the years? “It’s definitely got bigger!,” laughs Cllr Walsh, adding that it’s probably sharpened up too. “It’s got the same spirit though. This is the rhythm and beat of our community; it’s the place where we all come together editorial@weekender.co.uk

over the long summer holiday and we just have fun,” he says.

Are there likely to be more eyes on People’s Day this year as Lewisham is London’s Borough of Culture?

“We’re already seeing a lot of people discovering the arts and culture sector outside of Zone One. We’ve got a lot of rawness to our arts and culture here, none of the extra shine and commercialism you get in Zone One, this is authentic culture. The acts are really great at capturing the essence of Lewisham,” Cllr Walsh says.

A big focus of the We Are Lewisham programme so far has been on highlighting the climate emergency through arts-led performances and installations. Coinciding with People’s Day is a six-week festival overseen by Deptford venue The Albany, Climate Home, which is raising awareness of the issue www.weekender.co.uk

through performances, workshops, talks and adventure-play.

While ultimately a celebration and day of fun, there will be several climatethemed events at People’s Day, too.

“We’re putting our values front and centre,” says Cllr Walsh, adding that it’s a more climate-focused younger generation who are the driving force of this. “We’re a young, diverse borough [and] we want young people to have the space to raise the issues they want to raise,” he says. The Hell Bus, currently on show at Lewisham’s Museum of Neoliberalism, is rolling into People’s Day as part of this initiative, offering talks on climate chaos and fossil fuels.

Food and drink wise, visitors will be able to taste their way around the world, without leaving the confines of Mountsfield Park. Look out for vegan jerk from Joy’s Caribbean Fusion, and Wanderlust Eatery, a local LGBTQ+ business, recently featured on episode editorial@weekender.co.uk

two of We Are Lewisham’s Tasting Lewisham series. Visitors can also bring a picnic, if they’d prefer. In fact, the only thing you’re not allowed to bring (besides the obvious) is a dog, to avoid overcrowding in the park.

“Lewisham is a really close-knit community. People are very proud to be from Lewisham [and] I am very proud to be from here too,” reflects Cllr Walsh. “[People’s Day] is so wedded and so in step with the community…

For people to all be able to come back together for a day of celebrating things we all hold dear [after] we’ve all been quite isolated, hopefully this is the start of the amazing programme we have coming up as part of the We Are Lewisham programme,” he says.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Climate’s coming home Deptford arts venue The Albany is behind a new pop-up venue, Climate Home, where a sixweek festival of performances, workshops, talks and adventure-play is putting the plight of the planet front and centre. Filling much of the summer holidays, Climate Home is taking over The Richard MacVicar Adventure Playground from July 11 - August 20, and while primarily aimed at young residents aged between eight and 25, the festival programme is open to the whole community, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Lewisham Youth Theatre, The Unknown, REZON8, Alchemy, Playing On, Standards, Heart n Soul, Love 2 Dance and Staying Out Collective are among the organisations getting involved with the programme of hands-on activities.

The space itself is entirely outdoors (so pack your waterproofs!), with hay bales forming the seating area, which is being built with accessibility in mind.

Young people are being encouraged to get involved with every stage of the festival, including building the outdoor performance hub within the adventure playground, where many of the events will take place.

It’s free to take part and those who sign up will be working alongside a team of professionals from Build Up and Practice Architecture – gaining valuable construction experience.

Those keen to pursue a career in fashion, meanwhile, can book onto a design course with Climate Home’s resident fashion designer, where you’ll learn how to create catwalk designs from sustainable materials.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT THEATRE

Frank Bowling: from artist to sculptor Guyana-born British artist Frank Bowling is known as one of the great painters of the late 20th century and for creating artworks which relate to abstract expressionism and its cousin, colour field painting.

But the Stephen Lawrence Gallery at University of Greenwich is keen to showcase the artist with a focus on his sculptures and the sculptural elements of his paintings, which often include objects rising out of textured surfaces, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Curated by Sam Cornish, Frank Bowling and Sculpture will explore the artist’s experimentation in creating two and three dimensional artworks. The exhibition features sculptures from the 80s and 90s, paintings, and archival audio-visual footage of Bowling at work. The steel forms of his ‘King

Crabbé, 1988’ and ‘Buibul, 1988’ are among those to go on show, as is Ancestor Window, 1987, recognisable for its object-encrusted surface.

Helping visitors get the most out of the exhibition is a supporting publication from Ridinghouse featuring a newly

commissioned essay by curator Sam Cornish, an in-conversation between arts writer Allie Biswas and sculptor Thomas J. Price, and a poem dedicated to Bowling by sculptor and author Barbara Chase-Riboud.

David Waterworth, Curator at the

University of Greenwich said: “We’re delighted to be able to host Frank Bowling and Sculpture and present this previously unexamined side of his career. The exhibition will demonstrate the important place that he occupies and the still-unfolding story of his contribution to abstraction.”

History

Detford before the dockyards

Mary Mills Two million - that sounds like lot of bricks. It’s said to be the number of Deptford made bricks supplied to Henry VIII for his manor house at Dartford - which was being done up as a home for discarded wife, Ann of Cleves. Two million is the number given in Christopher Philpotts‘‘desktop history’ of Deptford Creek – but, to be honest, I very much doubt that the brick works concerned was on Deptford Creek itself. The histories of brick making I’ve looked at say that in the 16th Century bricks were newly fashionable, but expensive and only used for posh buildings. They also say that they were usually made on the building site itself by itinerant Flemish immigrant craftsmen.

Regardless of where they were actually made and who made them – they were clearly sourced from a Deptford business and this is a pointer to the sort of industry in Deptford before – say - 1600.

I thought that this week I should try to give a bit of background to the various industries on Deptford Creek. I’ve listed a lot of Creekside industries over the past year and have only the last few yards to do – the area between Deptford Creek Road Bridge and the Thames. But also I think that something else I needed to do was to look and see what industry there was before the Palace came to Greenwich and before the Royal Dockyard opened in the early 16th Century.

I have wondered if Deptford may have been the first area heavily industrialised in England. I wrote back in February about the enormous population in Greenwich and Deptford in 1662 – and how the Tudor Palace must have provided thousands of jobs over the previous century. By the 1660s Royal Dockyard was flourishing and many

10 July 13 2022

other businesses, like the copperas works, were in operation. This means that there must have been people around with a lot of skills who could do the various jobs available in these new industries. We know that there were skilled immigrants – like the Flemish brick makers – and Deptford historian Jess Steele, says, in her great book on Deptford ‘Turning the Tide’ , that in the 1590s for ‘every one person who died in Deptford there were 10 others who had come to the river front to get work or to join their families’. But we also need to know if there were skilled workers in the existing Deptford community.

One problem is that I don’t have much source material for this and I am very reliant for information on Deptford Creek before the 17th Century on Christopher Philpot’s unpublished study which was commissioned by the Creekside Project in 1997. This is a terrific piece of work – and I’m very lucky to have a copy - and that was given to me many years ago through the kindness of one of the developers, would you believe!

I don’t know where it is available and it really should be better known.

Christopher Philpotts was an archaeologist and he had access to the work of other archaeologists. There have been many, many archaeological investigations along Deptford Creek – there can be few other places which have had so many – and they are one of my key sources. Their work has usually been commissioned by developers as a condition of their planning consent.

But it is sometimes really hard to get to see their written reports.

I’m saying this because I am really stuck for a copy of a report on what is probably the most important of these the huge investigation on the East India Company site – and if anyone has a copy? – well, I would be very grateful for a sight of it. It’s not the only reference material I am trying to source either.

Enough of all this - I began by saying that this week I was going to write about what was going on in Deptford before the Palace and the Royal Dockyard. So – was this a quiet little rural riverside peasant community?

Have we any idea what was going on?

First of all there was work to modify the local environment and make it more usable. Archaeologists have done quite a bit of the work up and down the creek looking at the banks – ‘the walls’ - and at embankments throughout the area, which were built to keep the river in some sort of check and made it easier to use. There is a lot about the riverside ‘walls’ in ‘Deptford Creek. The Creekside Project’s book ‘Surviving Regeneration’ has some great photographs and explanations about the Creek walls -and some of the embankments. A lot

of this work is very difficult to date but it seems they may be Saxon, or even earlier, but that work has continued and is, obviously, continuing, to keep them safe and functioning. They aren’t things you can just leave!

In order to build and maintain ‘the walls’ you need to know what you are doing.

You can’t build a mound of earth and hope it will keep the river in its place and still be there when you come back.

So who knew how do this work?

Most of the work on the ‘walls’ will have been done by the land owners - in many cases religious houses which had a reputation for land improvement over the centuries. A lot of dry land in areas like Thanet is only there because of years and years of reclamation work on marshland by the local monks. So I guess the work was commissioned by local landowners like Bermondsey Abbey – just up the road. Another local landowner with the expertise for this sort of civil engineering was Bridge House – the very wealthy 12th century body which still maintains London Bridge.

But, of course, they would have used local labour to do all the hard work – and passed on knowledge as they did so.

Christopher Philpotts talks about gravel pits in Deptford in the 16th century – they were on the east bank of the Creek and also on the west bank where there was an area called ‘Gravell Pitt Meade’. Another area called ‘the Gravel pits’ was common pasture in 1608 and later became known as the ‘Gravel Pits Estate’ and it was drained by ‘Gravel Pit Sluice’. So, what was this interest in gravel about? editorial@weekender.co.uk

Some gravel might have been used on roads – although roads were usually just muddy tracks it is possible that the very busy Dover Road across Deptford Bridge and up Shooters Hill might have needed some sort of surface. Probably the main lot of the gravel was used as ballast in ships – this means that ships which had come to Deptford and unloaded would then load up with the gravel to stabilize them on a return journey without cargo.

Christopher Philpotts quotes a report from 1515 of the river wall being broken ~” by balysse in a horse and cart”.

Growing ‘Osiers’ is another activity which is said to have gone on in Deptford in the Middle Ages. This is the growing of small-scale willow plants which would be cut back and kept as bushes. The twigs could be used for a number of things but it is usually said that they were used to make baskets. Baskets are very useful things but you don’t need that many! A lot of willow twigs would be needed in buildings made of ‘wattle and daub’ which was the main way of doing the construction of ordinary homes and workplaces – stone and bricks would be far too expensive... Making both baskets and house walls need a specific skill.

There were water mills along the Ravensbourne River by the 11th century; they are mentioned in the Domesday Book. Before I finish this series I will do a special article on them. The earliest mill we know about on the Creek is the Olde Floode Mill – and there are suggestions it is Norman Conquest. A miller needs a whole set of skills which are not necessarily just those needed to work the mill and grind up the corn, or whatever. Perhaps their most important www.weekender.co.uk

History skill is the management of the water supply. A water mill needs to be planned which might include altering watercourses and directing the water to where it could be best used to run the wheel mill wheels. This would’ve needed specialist millwrights to come in and advise.

Deptford and Greenwich are said to have been a ‘port’ from the earliest times – and that implies a whole range of skills.

Vessels of all sorts came up the Thames to anchor off shore along Deptford Strand – as well as in the mouth of the Creek. We don’t know what sort of ships they were and what sort of cargoes they brought – although a need for ballast for a return journey implies something substantial must have been delivered. As far as I know –and I am trying to get the right books to tell me - Deptford and Greenwich were subject to the port regulations set up in the City of London. Down river in Gravesend rather than a ’Mayor’ they had a ‘Port Reeve’ but that doesn’t seem to have applied to Deptford and Greenwich, although, like Gravesend, they were in Kent.

I also think that the need for a port area also means there is a need for - sorry, - bureaucracy – and that somewhere an army of clerks was kept busy. The actual administration of running all these workplaces often seems to be forgotten but once industries began to expand there was every need or proper regulation and management.

Another industry in Deptford and Greenwich is fishing. What does ‘fishing’ mean? It’s easy to think of the prehistoric fisherman paddling about in a home-

F.A.A.

made coracle and catching enough fish for his family supper. But how far was that ever the case? We need to know who owned the fishing boats - was there perhaps an owner who employed local people? Were the fishermen full time?

Whatever – ‘fishing’ implies a set of skills for which some training was needed. It also means that there was a boat building industry and people who made things like nets and sails. ‘Fishing’ may sound small-scale but it involved many people earning a living with manufacturing skills.

Deptford tide mill 1840

I began this article quoting a vast numbers of bricks made, either locally, or on site. Wherever they were actually made they needed raw materials - ‘brick earth’ needed to be located, dug and taken to the brick makers. The process involves a series of temporary structures which are demolished as each batch is finished – and that needs space. Bricks were all handmade then– and that’s another skilled trade which needed to be learnt. And there would have to be clerks to write up the estimates and eventually present Henry VIII with an invoice.

So – this is Deptford before the dockyards and the palace came to the area. A wharfage area, with fishermen and incoming cargoes – and with nearby gravel extraction for ballast.

Up river there were a number of mills amd osier beds. To facilitate all of this the river walls and embankments needed to be maintained.

Crucially, these activities imply a high level of skills in the population before the Tudors.

Holiday Food and Fun

Free holiday club places will be available for eligible children throughout the summer holidays as Holiday Food and Fun returns!

Children receiving free school meals, aged 4 to 16, will be able to sign up for a summer of fun with dozens of local holiday clubs taking part.

Using money from the Department for Education, we’re funding free spaces for children who need them most.

Everything from sports to drama will be on offer, so there will be something for every child’s interest – no one has to miss out!

Cllr Matt Morrow, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “The cost of childcare during the holidays can be a massive headache for families and carers so I encourage families to take part in Holiday Food and Fun.

“We want to help ease the burden and that starts with making sure every child has the chance to get out the house this summer, socialize with their friends and get access to a healthy lunch too.”

To see a map of holiday clubs and contact providers directly to book your spot, visit royalgreenwich.gov.uk/holidayfoodandfun Free holiday meals will also be on offer for all children this summer at libraries and leisure centres across the borough. And don’t forget that Young Greenwich provides free or low-cost activities at youth hubs all year round. www.young-greenwich.org.uk
