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.

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.
