The walking is generally easy, but with a few longish, steep slopes, stiles and kissing gates and some small flights of steps. Much of it is through commons, parks and along tracks. There are cafes and pubs at many places along the way and you can picnic at High Elms, where there are also public toilets. The walk starts at Jubilee Country Park and finishes at Hayes station. There are several bus routes along this walk. Continues Continues on next page Directions.

Feedback forms have gone out to all carers on our mailing lists. If you haven’t already done so, please take the time to fill in and return the forms to us, as it helps us shape our service to your needs and preferences.

A HOME WHERE TIME BEGINS... HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Once farming and grazing land in the 16th Century, the Greenwich Peninsula has been the industrial home to many over the centuries, from producing gunpowder in the 17th Century through to being home to oil merchant Samuel Enderby’s fleet of whaling ships in the 18th Century. As the ships increased in size, the site became used for quality rope manufacturing to serve the maritime fleets. Historic image of the factory looking west towards the river. Historic image of the factory looking east. The site is more renowned for its pioneering history in the innovation and manufacture of telegraph cables that eventually spanned the world, invented by William Cooke. After assistance from the Enderbys' in producing an insulated rope, Cooke went on to produce the first electric telegraph. Reputably this was the cable that was used on the railway through Camden Bank between Euston and Camden Town, meaning the world’s first effective telegraph cable was made in Greenwich. In later years the owners of the site made cables that stretched across the globe, enabling fast communication all over the world, signalling a significant step in the history of global communication for mankind.
