Originally named after its prime position as a well-known trader of wool, Woolwich has continued to be an important part of the London story. THE PAST In 1512 Henry VIII chose Woolwich as the site for his flagship Royal Dockyard, which was to become a defining factor in its history. Woolwich served an important role in military support with the establishment of the Royal Arsenal and laboratory, which played a key part in both World Wars by manufacturing ammunition and goods for civilians. As well as the important economic development provided by its military capabilities, Woolwich went through a period of extensive growth during the 19th Century with the opening of various factories and the advance of the South Eastern Railway line. The famous Woolwich ferry started in 1889, provided a free service connecting North and South – a service that is still free today! Community has always been at the heart of Woolwich, and in 1868 the Royal Arsenal Co-Operative Society came into being. This important community movement became one of the biggest consumer co-operatives in the country and home to various shops, department stores and areas of entrepreneurship. Steeped in a rich history of growth and innovation, Woolwich is also the birth place of one of the country’s best loved football teams. In 1886 a group of workers at the Royal Arsenal formed a football team called Dial Square. Winning their first game 6-0, the team went from strength to strength and became an official club. They soon changed their name to Royal Arsenal and at the turn of the century relocated to Highbury – becoming the Arsenal football club we know today. If you look closely, you will still see their connection to Woolwich – a cannon on their official crest! 9 Kings Troop, RHA, Charlton, April 2015 ROGER WOOD | Flickr.com 11 2 3 5 1 .
