  • Making a Home in Silvertown – Transcript

    Making a Home in Silvertown – Transcript

    Making a Home in Silvertown – Transcript PART 1 Hello everyone, and welcome to ‘Making a Home in Silvertown’, a guided walk in association with Newham Heritage Festival and the Access and Engagement team at Birkbeck, University of London. My name’s Matt, and I’m your tour guide for this sequence of three videos that lead you on a historic guided walk around Silvertown, one of East London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods. Silvertown is part of London’s Docklands, in the London Borough of Newham. The area’s history has been shaped by the River Thames, the Docks, and the unrivalled variety of shipping, cargoes and travellers that passed through the Port of London. The walk focuses on the many people from around the country and around the world who have made their homes here, and how residents have coped with the sometimes challenging conditions in the area. It will include plenty of historical images from Newham’s archives. There’s always more to explore about this unique part of London, and I hope these videos inspire you to explore further. The reason why this walk is online, instead of me leading you around Silvertown in person, is that as we record this, the U.K. has some restrictions on movement and public assembly due to the pandemic of COVID-19, or Coronavirus. So the idea is that you can download these videos onto a device and follow their route around the area, pausing them where necessary. The videos are intended to be modular, each beginning and ending at one of the local Docklands Light Railway stations.

    THE HISTORY OF CODY DOCK Paul Ferris Chapter 1 A background Anybody visiting Cody Dock, and arriving via the main gate off South Crescent, near Star Lane DLR station, will see that the 2.5-acre site is situated within a mix of modern business park and light industry. Anybody visiting Cody Dock, and arriving via the main gate off South Crescent, near Star Lane DLR station, will see that the 2.5-acre site is situated within a mix of modern business park and light industry. As you walk through the gates and down the approach road the vista opens out to a view across the River Lea – with a background complex of run-down looking industrial premises, 60's high-rise and maisonettes and beyond that the towering financial institutions clustered around Canary Wharf. It is the river itself that has given rise to Cody Dock, and it would be worth looking at something of the history of the Lea and the company that built the dock to begin to appreciate its place and potential now and in the future. This is the first of a series of articles which will explain why the dock is here and what it was used for, why it closed down and became lost, how it was rediscovered and cleaned up, what it is used for now, and by whom, and what the plans are for the future. We will also be looking at the status of the wildlife around the dock, and what might be done to enhance this for its own benefit and for the benefit of people too.

  • The Industrial and Community Heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich Introduction

    The Industrial and Community Heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich Introduction

    The industrial and community heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich Introduction The Islanders is a project that aims to preserve the industrial and community heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich. It is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Royal Docks Team. Volunteers and local participants have contributed significantly to the project. Thames Festival Trust thanks Newham Archives (The Islanders’ Heritage Partner), London Metropolitan Archives and Eastside Community Heritage. In the nineteenth century, London’s eastern boundary was at Bow Creek, where its noxious industries began to congregate. From shipbuilding, to silver, iron, oils, soap, rubber and manure, London’s industry was developing on the fringes of the city. By the completion of the Albert Dock in 1880, Silvertown and North Woolwich had effectively become an ‘island’. It was bordered by the Thames to the south, and by the Royal Docks and its lock entrances to the north, east and west, the only way in or out was by bridge, ferry or tunnel.

September 2021 Left: Goad Fire Insurance Plan, May 1900 (The British Library) 3 The origins Prior to the nineteenth century, Silvertown and North Woolwich was an uninhabited marshland called Plaistow Level used for grazing cattle, and frequented by smugglers, prize fighters, and high tide flooding, sat between Bow Creek and Gallions Reach. In the 1840s, the area was sold cheaply at an ‘agricultural price’ to a consortium of developers.
  • Custom House Proposal

    Custom House Proposal

    - Proposal for a new vision of Custom House - CUSTOM HOUSE PROPOSAL Revitalising the neighborhood through community-oriented spatial interventions This design response proposes a community-oriented Custom House whose social infrastructure will be revitalised in accordance with the neighbourhood’s physical regeneration. Given the area’s struggles with crime induced socio-spatial stigmatisation, our plan aims to re- map Custom House: embedding new positive features within its de- sign through which it can be identified—changing the associations and connotations of place. Utilising a combination of the perspectives and expertise gained through Newham Council’s participatory planning process and our own neighbourhood analysis, our approach aims to constructive- ly engage with the issues affecting Custom House residents. Building from this, our proposal expands on the current regeneration plans— placing greater emphasis on community empowerment. To articulate this community-oriented vision, we have divided our proposal into three principles which address: the socio-economic integration of Cus- tom House within its broader locality; the neighbourhood’s identity and reputation; as well as its safety and accessibility. Whilst these principles THANK YOU are then broken down further into guidelines with corresponding inter- ventions, each element of the overall strategy is interconnected and mutually constitutive.

    Transforming East London Together

    TRANSFORMING EAST LONDON TOGETHER 2013 - 2023 Stansted London’s business community relies on international connectivity to trade successfully in the inter- Luton connected global economy. East London is fortunate to be well-served by an international airport that has “ been at the heart of the economic regeneration and rejuvenation of the area since 1987. The existence of London City has been a catalyst for business investment in the area. With more start-up businesses than any other part of London and clusters emerging such as Tech City and the Royal Docks, the growth of the airport in line with increasing demand will be essential. Without the quick and convenient air links provided by London City, I am certain that many businesses would have chosen alternative locations.
