Talks, family-friendly art trails and latenight drawing sessions are some of the highlights of a new community series, Drawn Together, organised by Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG). It’s running in conjunction with the Queen’s House exhibition The Van de Veldes: Greenwich, Art and the Sea, but you’ll find most events over at the National Maritime Museum. A cross-departmental collaboration across all five RMG sites, with astronomers, conservators, curators and educators all pooling their skills, it promises something for all visitors, from tots to scholars.
Holly O’Mahony spoke to Mat Cahill, Collections Learning Manager at Royal Museums Greenwich and coordinator of the ‘Season of Drawing’, to find out more…
Holly O’Mahony: What made you decide to run a season of events around drawing?
Mat Cahill: Drawn Together will be the first in a series of seasons connecting various activities and events at Royal Museums Greenwich in 2023. These seasons will focus on approaches not themes, working across all our sites and across all departments. The seasons have been planned in collaboration with experts and created to support skills, knowledge and wellbeing. The seasons will run alongside our exhibitions and installations, linked to our regular programming but approaching it in new ways. The first season will
investigate and celebrate drawing, inspired by our new exhibition at the Queen’s House: The Van de Veldes: Greenwich, Art and the Sea.
HOM: The exhibition features maritime artworks painted or drawn over 300 years ago. What inspired it?
MC: Drawn Together has been inspired by the rich collection of drawings going on display for The Van de Veldes: Greenwich, Art and the Sea. Willem van de Velde the Elder and his son Willem van de Velde the Younger established a studio at the Queen’s House where they worked on royal commissions, magnificent paintings and tapestries, as well as thousands of detailed sketches, drawings and designs.
HOM: Is there a stand-out artwork within the exhibition visitors should look out for?
MC: One of my favourite drawings in the upcoming exhibition is a sketch made in a collaboration between the Duke of York — King Charles II’s brother and the future James II — and Willem van de Velde the Elder. In this drawing they are illustrating to each other their individualised experience of the Battle of Solebay, a brutal clash both were involved in but on opposing sides. These collaborative drawings were needed to ensure that the Van de Veldes could capture the perspective of the English in the paintings they had been commissioned to produce. The two men could not speak the same language so instead used drawing to visualise and communicate their experiences.
HOM: The series is running as a collaboration between RMG and a collective of artists called ‘Drawing Correspondence’. How did this come about?
MC: We approached Drawing Correspondence member Tania Kovats to support the Season of Drawing as her artwork ‘Sea Mark’ is on display in the Queen’s House. Tania’s practice embraces drawing in its expanded field
as a highly significant tool of thinking and expression. Tania then introduced us to the other members of Drawing Correspondence, Anita Taylor and Chloe Briggs. We like the fact all three artists collectively believe drawing
is a tool that can be used by all.
HOM: What will the artists be contributing to the series?
MC: Each artist brings something
different to the Season of Drawing. Tania’s artwork has often been themed around water, as a result Tania will be co-curating our annual World Oceans Day celebration on 10 June. Anita is passionate about art through the
female gaze, and she is supporting the Museum in making drawing accessible to women. Anita is hosting the Girl Friday Breakfast Club on the 10 March, which will give women an opportunity to hear from artists in an informal and friendly environment. Chloe, along with Anita and Tania, has been helping create activities and talks for Circumnavigation, our drawing symposium event. In particular, Chloe has been busy creating a series of downloadable drawing prompts for the public, helping them to discover different ways that drawing can be used for learning and exploration in their everyday life.
HOM: Why was it important for the series to include a mix of practical workshops and more intellectual events, like talks?
MC: It is so important that we offer a wide range of events that can be
considered practical and theoretical, as it will allow audiences to understand why drawing is important and how it can support learning, development, communication and wellbeing. Drawing is a process that is accessible to all no matter age, background or ability.
HOM: The smallest visitors are also being included in the series. What can visitors expect from the daily Create Family Trail?
MC: The Create trail is perfect for families who want to explore the Queen’s House. The trail will look at mark making, creating light and shadows and more, inspired by the artworks and the architecture in the 17th century building. It doesn’t matter how confident visitors are at creating artworks, the Create trail will encourage families to embrace their artistic side.
HOM: Some of the events, like the CPD meditation and wellbeing workshop on May 11, touch on mental health too. Why was this important to incorporate into the series?
MC: When researching and consulting with our audiences for this season, we learnt that a lot of adults had a negative relationship with drawing, possibly because drawing was seen as something that could be measured as good or bad. In this session designed for teachers and
learning professionals. Tania Kovats and Jane Sassienie will demonstrate using drawing to help us focus on the moment. Giving time and space to drawing is giving time and space to yourself. We hope that the teachers who come along to this unique event will utilise the methods shown for their own wellbeing as well as to support their learners.
HOM: You’ve got some leading experts delivering events as part of the series. Are there any events you’re especially excited for?
MC: It’s so hard to pick one event, however if you want to hear and see some of the world’s leading drawing experts in one room all at once, I believe that our drawing symposium, Circumnavigation, will be very special. I also feel that our Sound and Vision series will be a real treat for history, music and art lovers. We’re inviting people to draw in the Queen’s House during a series of late openings, while listening to live musicians playing traditional fanfares, classical baroque… and contemporary ambient Dutch techno!
The Drawn Together series is taking place at the National Maritime Museum, Romney Road, London SE10 9NF. March 10 - June 10, sessions at various times. Admission: FREE - £20 depending on event. www.rmg.co.uk/ whats-on/national-maritime-museum/ drawn-together-season-drawings

Charlton Athletic Community Trust’s (CACT) youth service delivered on behalf of the Royal Borough of Greenwich celebrated its annual Young Greenwich Day on 25 February at The Valley as Charlton Athletic played Sheffield Wednesday.
This year’s theme was linked to environmental and sustainability awareness, supporting Charlton’s ‘Greener Game’.
Following tradition, the day celebrated Young Greenwich’s young people through a range of activities which included badge making and grow your vegetable workshops as part of the Greener Game theme. One talented youth club member, Daquain Jones, livened up Valley Central with his DJ skills.
Six youth club members partnered up with RSK and Countrystyle Recycling to take part in a litterpicking activity where they collected rubbish from around The Valley.
In the lead-up to the day, Young
Greenwich members also took part in a range of environmental activities in their youth hubs.
Men’s first team player and PFA Environment Ambassador George Dobson and Charlton Athletic Women’s Poppy Soper attended Avery Hill Youth Hub to discuss sustainability with the young people.
Young people in youth hubs recreated the Charlton badge through a ‘Make It Green’ challenge, and members were also encouraged to make an environmental pledge through Pledgeball.
During the day young people also had the opportunity to display all their environmental artwork through a pitch side presentation with
Cllr Averil Lekau, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Environment and Transport. Cllr Lekau awarded the young people for all their environmental and sustainable contributions.
Cllr Matt Morrow, Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said:
“I think it’s fantastic that young people are taking the lead on environmentalism because the world is going to belong to them. So, it is fantastic to see them learning about the environment and becoming activists so that they can make the world a better place.”

The prospect of dementia can be frightening, but the good news is that improving air quality can help to protect our brain health, according to Dr Susan Mitchell from Alzheimer’s Research UK.
Dementia affects over a million people in the UK, and new evidence of the link between brain health and air pollution has highlighted the importance of the quality of the air we breathe.
Up to 12 risk factors have been identified, including air quality, and although there are health and lifestyle changes we can all make – like limiting alcohol
London. “We recognise that air pollution is not something that individuals can change by themselves,” says Dr Mitchell. “It’s really encouraging to see energy and ambition at a city level to reduce air pollution and therefore help reduce the risk of developing dementia.”

A basic industry for any area with pretensions to call itself ‘Maritime’, or even Riverside, is the manufacture of rope. Rope had a major role to play in shipping and, obviously, sailing ships needed very large quantities of it. A few years ago the late John Yeardley wrote an article on the history of the Charlton rope works which I put on the Greenwich Industrial History blog. John was the last manager of what became the Bridon Rope works in Anchor and Hope Lane in Charlton. The article covers much of the early days of the site and the Company’s early days in Wapping. https:// greenwichindustrialhistory.blogspot.com/2016/11/ history-of-charlton-ropeworks-by-john.html
I also did an article for Weekender in June 2020 about the Rope works on the Greenwich Peninsula on what became the Enderby site. Before the Enderbys moved there the works was beset by scandals, but it had probably originated with staff connected to the great government Rope Works in Woolwich. https://issuu.com/ southwark.news/docs/glw163s
However, recently I have been given a
typescript ms about the history of Frost Brothers Rope Works in Wapping and Charlton by D.R.Frost, who is, or was, a family member. If D.R.Frost is still around please get in touch. I intend to give this MS to the Bishopsgate Institute, which already has a collection on the Company. I am sorry if I am repeating some of the information in John’s earlier article. I am also aware that there was a different earlier rope works in Charlton but on a different site.
In the early 18th and 19th century there were many Rope works in the East End of London. One of these is shown in 1703 running between Cable Street and Commercial Road – then Sun Tavern Fields. In 1819 one of these rope works had a steam engine at work supplied by Birmingham based Boulton and Watt. Anyone who has read my book ‘The Early East London Gas Industry’ will have seen that one gas works began in a rope works in Tavern Fields. This was almost certainly the rope works which became Frosts and the gas making plant may well have come as part of a package with the steam engine.
The Rope works in Cable Street was known as ‘Frost Brothers’ from the 1850s. It prospered and grew throughout the remaining part of
the 19th century. In 1912 they were approached by the North German Lloyd shipping line for a huge amount of rope which was more than the Wapping works could handle. So James Frost, the managing director, decided on a new works. He found the site in Charlton in 1913, bought it for £20,000, and set up the Charlton Rope Works Ltd.
The new factory was equipped with the latest machinery for fibre processing. It was designed to produce 9000 tonnes of rope and 3000 tonnes of twine a year – more than double the output of Frost Brothers works in Wapping. But only one third was ever built - James Frost had designed it for 18 ropewalks but 12 were enough.
A foundation stone was laid on the 9th November 1914 and production began in 1915. But then the War Office commandeered this building and used it to store aircraft parts until 1920. However it was still possible to spin yarn for Frost brothers and other London rope makers in Charlton. The works continued under the direction of James Frost and production exceeded expectation.
Although there were problems with the new Charlton site, they were said
to be producing 25% of UK rope. It had not been easy to predict wartime conditions in 1914 or to realise long wartime conditions would continue. After the war demand declined and it was decided to change and spin binder twine at Charlton. Frosts had no experience in this and it was poor quality, leaving them with 1000 tonnes of unsaleable stock – although it was eventually sold to Russia.
There was another problem when in 1921 they were hit by a major fire in a jut store. ‘A district call was issued and in a very short time there were over a dozen fire brigades working on the flames’. Eventually ‘the flames were got under control, and the premises were absolutely gutted’. It was thought that the fire was started by the heat of the mid-July day which had ‘ignited the jute’. The fire however proved a setback in extending and modernising the premises. Business declined as less rope was used in shipping and companies decided to combine with others to get economies of scale. In 1925 Frosts, joined a group of wire rope companies to set up ‘British Ropes Ltd’ More cheerfully we have a report of a visit to the works in May 1928 by the Greenwich Rotary Club. Mr
Frost himself gave a talk to the Greenwich Rotarians while they gave him lunch. Afterwards he took a party over the works where they were ‘privileged to inspect the whole process of rope manufacture … which proved most fascinating. It would, they said, become one of the principal industries of the Borough.
Other rope making companies were taken over and were consolidated at the Charlton site which was expanded to include their output. They included the London based J.T. Davis, and Falmouth based John Stevens and in 1966 the old Edinburgh Ropery and Sailcloth Company factory in Leith, in 1960. In 1967 they took over the London Spinning Company and the offshore oil business of Samson Cordage of Boston Massachusetts in 1988.
Their Thameside jetty was used to unload bales of sisal from East Africa and manila from The Philippines. An internal railway ran from the jetty to the hemp store. Is this jetty still there? There are a number of jetties in this area and I would welcome being told which is which. My understanding is that their jetty will have been near the river end of the Glenton Railway, which runs along the eastern boundary of this site.
What I saw of the site after closure was a network of many short rail lines but the locomotive were eventually replaced by motor tractors and from the 1970’s the jetty was disused because lorries were cheaper.
From the jetty the fibre was taken to be combed and spun into rope yarn and was then transferred to the ropewalk to be formed into strands. It was wound into coils on a coiling bank before being moved into the store. The finished product would then leave the premises through the main gate into Anchor and Hope Lane.
Many more buildings were added over the years as the site expanded. Modern, efficient, and compact rope making machines gradually replaced the ropewalk which closed in 1980. Synthetic fibres brought about many changes. Ropes and braids in a variety of colours - khaki for the army and royal blue for the royal yacht Britannia – led to dye house being added. Mechanical testing became more and more important and physical and chemical laboratories were established.
At sea a need developed for large diameter plaited ropes and the machines to make these were installed in the
1960’s. They were followed by huge braiding machines capable of producing ropes up to 240mm in diameter for the offshore oil industry with breaking strengths up to 1200 tonnes. Nylon fibre was used to make parachute cords, and high strength ropes used as glider tow ropes and ropes incorporating communication cables for submarines.
They also made huge nets to allow damaged aircraft to land on airfields and aircraft carriers. There were many new products from mountaineering ropes to industrial webbing slings. Sadly, land values in the area shot up as development was pursued after 2000 and the factory closed. The site has been a trading estate ever since.
But Greater London Industrial Archaeology Society members have photographed much of it. Locally there is a reminder by decorative motifs on the wall in Woolwich Road, The main relic of the club is their still active football team. They play up at the Meridian Sports field next to the Queen Elisabeth Hospital. They are looking for new players. Check them out at https:// www.bridonropesfc.com/

To help Royal Greenwich become a zero waste borough, we now collect general waste – that’s your black top wheelie bins – every two weeks.
If you live in a property affected by this change, you’ve been sent a calendar in the post showing your collections weeks.
We’ll also no longer collect extra bags of general waste that aren’t in your black top bin.
If you don’t have a bin and use sacks only, you will only be able to put out three bags of general waste a week.
A brand-new wildlife pond is open at Rockliffe Gardens in Plumstead for residents to enjoy. The formerly derelict pond was restored, with further improvements made to the park’s walls, tarmac paths, railings and York stone steps as well as installing a new fountain, footbridge and more benches.
The project is part of the Council’s £1million investment in our parks and these improvements were also supported by the Friends of Rockliffe Gardens.
Other parks that have seen improvements thanks to Council funding are:
• Plumstead Gardens
• Bostall Gardens
• Charlton Park
• Shrewsbury Park
• Queenscroft Park
• Maryon Park
• St. Mary's Gardens
• Sunbury Street Playground
• Eaglesfield Park Playground
• Twinkle Park

These changes do not affect blocks of flats that use large communal bins.
Your blue top recycling and green top food and garden waste bins will still be collected weekly so recycle as much as you can. Please put your bins out in front of your property by 6am on your collection day.
Make sure you put the right thing in the right bin, as we do not collect recycling bins containing the wrong item.
