A
new photo exhibition is uncovering historical and contemporary stories in England’s Black and Asian heritage., writes Laura Burgoine...
Human Stories: Another England opens at Greenwich Peninsula’s Now Gallery on October 10. The third exhibition in a series, this exhibition shows photographs and research generated by Historic England’s Another England: Mapping 100 Years of Black and Asian History. Created by Kaia Charles, Human Stories is a series of annual photographic displays that encourages a dialogue on modern life and the human scale. By engaging with modern and progressive communities, artists, photographers, historians, filmmakers, writers and thinkers, Human Stories translates these messages into compelling visual displays. Another England, co-curated by Kaia and Tamsin Silvey from Historic England, weaves together common threads of love, life and social shifts in modern English history, presenting a series of new photographic commissions that reflect multicultural heritage. Archival imagery from photo agencies Getty Images, Magnum Photos, and Autograph give an insight into the origins of diasporic migration, religion, home and working life, as well as unpicking
embedded racism that many were exposed to in the last century. Rare and little before seen photography and ephemera have been made available exclusively to Now Gallery through partnerships with collectors, archives and picture libraries. Cultural Projects Manager of Now Gallery and Greenwich Peninsula, Kaia Charles, said Another England signifies stories and images underrepresented in England’s collective history. “Whilst celebrating multiculturalism, we aspire to provoke open and honest dialogue about the portrayal of Black and Asian heritage in this country over the last century” Kaia said. Another England was launched by Historic England to map the past 100 years of the nation’s history from a Black and Asian perspective. Programme Curator at Historic England, Tamsin Silvey, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Now Gallery…to showcase pictures that have been shared with us by people across the country, and tell us about the places where they lived, worked and socialised – and their experiences of England.” Human Stories: Another England is at the Now Gallery, the Gateway Pavilions, Peninsula Square, SE10 0SQ, from October 10–November 11. Admission: free. Phone: 020 3770 2212. http://nowgallery.co.uk

Take a chance on Mamma Mia! The Party Tickets are now on sale for the new immersive dinner-theatre production at The O2
Photos: Dewynters
Opening next year, on Thursday 19 September 2019, Mamma Mia! The Party is set in a taverna on the island of Skopelos where most of the exteriors of the first Mamma Mia film were shot, writes Laura Burgoine... Nikos and his wife Kate run the exotic restaurant together with their family and friends. Told through dialogue and ABBA songs, a warm, romantic and funny story evolves and unfolds during the evening and takes place around the guests as they sit at their tables enjoying a delicious Greek meal. The evening ends with the main floor transforming into a 1970s disco where audience members can stay and sing and dance to ABBA. Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus are behind the music and lyrics, while the story is written by Calle Norlén, Roine Söderlundh and Björn Ulvaeus, and adapted for the UK by writer, comedian and broadcaster Sandi Toksvig. Work has already begun on transforming one of the venues within the O2 into a Greek island paradise with a taverna courtyard complete with a fountain, olive trees and bougainvillea. The official caterer, Rhubarb Events, which has worked with Royal Albert Hall, Sky Garden, VIVI at Centre Point and Hudson Yards in New York, has collaborated with the producers to devise an authentic menu. Producer Ingrid Sutej said: “Food is such a crucial part of MAMMA MIA! THE PARTY. I cannot imagine a better partner than rhubarb to offer our guests an unforgettable evening.” The London version of MAMMA

New playground on its way Greenwich Park has been given £346,500 for a new playground and the delivery of a Play Programme, writes Laura Burgoine...
The grant from the London Marathon Charitable Trust will go towards building an ‘inclusive’ playground, which is due to be ready by next summer. The Royal Parks has worked closely with local parents of disabled children and children with special educational needs to design a playground with sand and water features, both at ground level and in raised channels designed to be more easily accessible to children with mobility issues. The Royal Parks are also using the money to create Play Programmes in partnership with London Play, local schools and partner organisations such as Greenwich Parents Voice. The project will provide exciting and innovative play opportunities, which target the most deprived local communities. www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/ greenwich-park

S
ome of the most visible industrial remains in our area lie along the river – the jetties and piers which once served busy riverside factories sites and now stand awaiting other uses. Many of them are surprisingly modern and in quite good condition.
In just one article I couldn’t describe every remaining structure in the whole Greenwich Riverside between Deptford and Woolwich – but I thought a quick look at what is left on the Peninsula riverside might be interesting. If we could go down the Riverside Path – and if only we could! - after the Power Station the first jetties we come to, standing next to each other, are at Enderby Wharf. The first big jetty which dates from the 1940s has on it some preserved structures remaining from the days when subsea telecoms cables were loaded on to ships from here. They were passed out in a long skein from the works out to the ships using this equipment. In the 2000s the jetty was landscaped by Groundwork and they put up display boards about the cable works, and a specimen ‘repeater’ which was made here. There was also a small boat and I remember only too well talking to visitors here once when a dishevelled figure stood up from the boat waving a bottle about and shouting. That was not good and now since Alcatel sold the riverside strip the jetty has been closed to the public. It is however a big jetty in reasonable condition. The Enderby Group – local people concerned with the heritage at Enderby wharf – would like to see it used. A café would be nice with information boards about the old works. The other smaller jetty next to it is unstable and was seeded with grass by the environmental charity, Groundwork, in 2002. Between the two jetties steps go down into the river. These steps were for a ferry which took people out to the cable ships which were moored in the river. Underneath them is the outflow from medieval Bendish Sluice. In the 2000s an art work was carved on the steps showing the history of the cable industry. Enderby Group have tried to make sure the contractors working on the riverside path know about this work and that they look after it. I don’t have much faith in contractors being careful and let’s hope the art work and the artefacts on the jetties survive the rebuilding of the riverside path. If you can help get the message to them, please do! The next jetty is E shaped,

A world of industrial remains dates from the 1900s and used to belong to the council. In the days before Greenwich became part of Woolwich this was where the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich tipped its rubbish into barges which were then taken off down river to Mucking, or wherever. Again, it’s a big jetty in reasonable condition. Someone should use it for something! People may remember the silos which stood nearby – ‘which would make Le Corbusier weep in admiration’ and which belonged to the glucose refinery – Tunnel Glucose, later Amylum. They were demolished around 2012 by new owners of the site. Up to about 2000 tonnes of grain was brought here by boats from Holland and there would always be flocks of birds fighting over what had been spilt. The next jetty is called Primrose Pier, after a haulage contractor who used it in the 1960s. This was remodelled by Groundwork, who spent a lot of money in 2002 so that people would be able walk along it out into the river – and sit, or fish, or whatever. I guess the developers on Morden wharf own it now and I hope that soon the public will be able to sit on it again. It’s a long walk from here past the boat yard and endless development sites to the next jetty. On the way keep in mind that until the late 1970s small
www.weekender.co.uk
boats – and some larger ones – were being built on this stretch of riverside. Some of them are still around – does anyone know which ones? Once we have passed Ordnance Drawdock we come to the next jetty – this is Ordnance Jetty and there is currently a plan by the grand new hotel here to turn it into somewhere boats can call to pick up their guests. It belonged to the Ordnance Wharf – the Gas Works tar department and I am not sure how much it was actually used. I have some pictures of a structure called a Temperly Transporter which collapsed in a storm in the 1960s. It was called ‘Ordnance’ because it was here that Theophilus Blakely made guns, which were sold to the American South in their Civil War. Walk on round the Dome to QE Pier, built in 1999 and where the river boats call. We then come to what was the old Gas Works Jetty, some of which remains as a base for Anthony Gormley’s ‘Quantum Cloud’ artwork. The gas works jetty was a magnificent structure with three tiers where boats arrived from the Durham coal fields with coal for the gas works. It was a very busy place and of course, owned by the Gas Works, none of the equipment on it was worked by electricity. Next is what is now called ‘The Jetty’ which was built in the 1940s for Blackwall Point
power station and now has a nature garden project on it. It was featured the other week in The Weekender and it’s good to see it used - even though no boats call there at all. The next Jetty doesn’t exist now. It belonged to Redpath Brown, the structural steel works which stood between the riverside and The Pilot Pub –Greenwich Yacht Club were once based in their old canteen. I don’t know if people remember this jetty - it was pulled down by English Partnerships in 1999. It was in a bit of a state. I don’t know the politics of all this but there had been some dispute with the Yacht Club. Whatever went on a rival yacht club organisation had been set up on the Redpath Brown jetty. It was a really ramshackle affair, with tottering portacabins and extensions built of oil drums lashed together. There was a sort of garden made up of tastefully arranged scrap metal and various objects - a local Derrick Jarman garden. They used to put notices on the Blackwall Tunnel Approach advertising ‘drinks and music beside the river’. When you arrived there were boxes to sit on, a can of beer and someone’s radio - but it was a really pleasant place to sit. Anyway English Partnerships didn’t think they looked quite the thing to be standing near the Dome – the club put up a bit of a fight but they were evicted
and the jetty demolished. Does anyone know what happened to Kenny? The next jetty on the Peninsula is where the yacht club stands on the base of what was Peartree Wharf. This was a bit of planning gain – the builders of the Dome thought the Yacht Club was too scruffy in their old factory canteen so they built them this beautiful clubhouse and boat yard – and, good for them, they have never looked back since. I know nothing about Peartree Wharf itself and would be very interested if anybody could tell me more. After the Peninsula we carry on through Charlton and the aggregate wharves, where boats still come to the jetties, to Cory’s tug depot, still in use, and on and on right down to the jetties inside the Arsenal – and more if you carry on down to Erith. It’s a world of industrial remains we see all the time and take very little notice of. Useful structures, waiting to be used. PS. The ‘the Le Corbusier’ quotation is from architectural commentator and local resident, Owen Hatherley. The next Greenwich Industrial History meeting is; 13th November. David Waller. Iron Men.

Innovative recruitment firm set to shake up job market AN INNOVATIVE new London recruitment firm will disrupt the status quo and level the playing field for graduates who can’t afford to do endless work experience or internships just to stand a chance of landing their dream job. London based Direct Placements was set up to help graduates break free from a cycle which sees them forced into taking jobs they don’t want in order to be able to afford to live, meaning they are not available to take internships or work experience in order to stand a chance of getting a job in the field they want to work in. Over a quarter (27 per cent) of graduates are concerned they will miss out on job opportunities to those who can afford to do unpaid internships. The study by graduate jobs board Milkround also found more than half (55 per cent) of the almost 6,000 recent graduates interviewed believed an internship would help them secure a job. Direct Placements are unique in their approach - they hold interviews to select the best candidates they believe they can place and support, specialising in accountancy, HR & digital marketing sectors. Candidates who are successful are guaranteed
18 October 10 2018
work experience placements, as well as sector-focused training as needed. The beauty of the scheme is the placements and training all take place online, as and when the candidate is free, so although it isn’t paid it is flexible, which means they don’t have to give up their existing job. With this experience under their hats as well as coaching and support from Direct Placements, which is based in Victoria Street, Westminster, many graduates go on to secure a job offer in accountancy, HR and digital marketing.
Alex from Direct Placements explains: “A degree in accountancy for example is all well and good, but without any experience in that area it can be hard to land your first job. In the meantime, you must be able to afford to live, which usually means getting any job you can, often in areas such as retail or food services. “However, once you are working full-time you aren’t in a position to go on daytime training courses or accept an internship or work experience in the sort of career you actually want to pursue. You find yourself stuck in
a vicious cycle - unless of course you are independently wealthy or have wealthy family to support you”. The longer graduates stay working in jobs just to pay the bills, the harder it is for them to ever break into the career they want, and the situation is made more complicated for those with dependents who may have extra potential barriers into employment due to disability. Direct Placements work by allowing their candidates to gain real experience with professional HR, accountancy and digital marketing firms without having to leave their homes and they have some great partner firms signed up. “That means having a full-time job, transport costs and access problems will not stop people and it also means working long on split shifts or to arrange around childcare is not problematic, as you can organise your work experience to fit in with your life. “For too many careers there is an unwritten but near-compulsory expectation that successful applicants for graduate entry jobs will have undertaken a considerable number of unpaid placements beforehand and many simply cannot afford to do that. Direct Placements is the solution to this problem.” www.direct-placements.com
