  • Woolwich History Walks
    ROYAL GREENWICH HERITAGE Woolwich TRUST History Walks trails start here discover woolwich The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich is imbued with history, much of which is linked with the British military. The former was responsible for the vast majority of developing, testing and processing weapons of war for the British Army and Navy for over 300 years, employing more than 80,000 at its peak and making it one of the most significant manufacturing sites in the UK. Until recently, much of what went on inside the walls of the Royal Arsenal was kept secret. Today, as a result of its decommission in the 1990s and subsequent revival and redevelopment, much of it is open for the public to experience and explore. These military roots have extended throughout Woolwich, the remnants of which are still present today. WHICH TRAIL WOULD YOU LIKE TO FOLLOW? Royal Arsenal Walk The Royal Arsenal Walk highlights a selection of the most impressive foundries, factories and warehouses in the compound, that were integral to the production of British weapons.

  • These Notes Were Created As Research for the Historic England Heritage Schools Local History Timeline for the Royal Borough of Greenwich
    Brief history of Greenwich These notes were created as research for the Historic England Heritage Schools local history timeline for the Royal Borough of Greenwich. There is so much more information than we could possibly fit on the twenty-one timeline slides. The notes take the story of the Greenwich area from its earliest inhabitants up to the modern day, tracing the evolution of the borough. The story of Greenwich is set in the context of national and sometimes international events, as they shaped the local area. The local evidence for historical events is highlighted in blue in the text. There is also a focus on how history affects the built environment, influencing building styles, art, and architecture. Key building styles and local examples are highlighted in red. There is also a little explanation about the date notation, as this changes over time, from Years Ago, when dealing with the very distant past, to AD for the last 2,000 years. All dates are highlighted in green. Many images of local buildings can be accessed in the Historic England online archive: http://archive.historicengland.org.uk, while photos of listed buildings can be found here: http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk. Links to further resources to support the timeline Enquiry Questions are also provided at the end of this document. We hope this resource will be of interest to teachers and help them answer any questions they or their pupils have about their local heritage. All images used in this resource are © Trustees of the British Museum Prehistory Early humans first evolved in Africa and gradually spread into the Middle East, Asia, Europe and beyond.
