By the 19th century, the area had a large community and industry flourished along the river. London’s first railway began operating from Deptford to London Bridge in 1836. Steamboats and horse buses also ran regularly to and from the city. After the Second World War, local industry across Greenwich and Woolwich declined and many jobs were lost. Today, new transport links at Woolwich are a key part of regeneration plans for the borough. Beresford Gate, Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, c1900. The Royal Arsenal was the oldest and largest armament factory in Britain. LBG 3 The river highway Services to row passengers between Greenwich and London began in 1816. Steamboat services followed in the 1830s. They later faced stiff competition from the railway. By 1876, the surviving London Steamboat Company (LSC) was running reduced summer services only, between Chelsea, Greenwich and Woolwich. On 3 September 1878, the LSC pleasure steamer Princess Alice collided with the 890–ton collier Bywell ‘She [Isaacs’ aunt] . took me to the mortuary Castle and sank at Woolwich. where she recognised my mother and the baby .

LBG The Princess Alice collides with the Bywell Castle. Illustrated London News, 1878. LBG 4 In 1905, the London County Council (LCC) attempted to revive passenger services along the river from Hammersmith to Plumstead. But they suffered huge losses and closed in 1908. Only a handful of private operators survived, carrying day-trippers during the summer months. Services were briefly reinstated for six weeks in 1940, when London Transport ran river buses between Westminster and Woolwich. They were to replace the trams which had been damaged by bombs during the Blitz. LCC steamboats at Greenwich Pier, 1906.

The London & Greenwich Railway (LGR) opened in 1836 between Deptford and London Bridge. Built by Colonel George Landmann, a Woolwich-born military engineer, it ran along an 878-arch railway viaduct, still in use today. During construction, 100,000 bricks were laid each day by hundreds of navvies. Attempts were made to rent out the arches for housing, but the venture failed.

LBG 6 Although fares were expensive, by 1844 the London & Greenwich Railway was carrying two million passengers a year. Despite this, the company struggled to survive. It was taken over by the South Eastern Railway in 1845. A proposed extension of the line through Greenwich Park was thwarted by local opposition. It was 1878 before the line was extended and even then it was routed through a tunnel north of the park. Proposed Gravesend railroad as it would appear in Greenwich Park, 1835. It was never built.

LBG, Spurgeon Collection 7 The reliable friend: Woolwich’s famous ferry For hundreds of years, local people relied on ferries to get across the Thames. Before Tower Bridge opened in 1894, the nearest crossing point for road traffic was far upriver, at London Bridge. By the 1880s, local pressure forced the Metropolitan Board of Works to provide a free ferry service between north and south Woolwich. On the opening weekend in 1889, 25,000 people flocked to ride on the new ferry. Woolwich Free Ferry crew, c1900.

LBG 8 The Woolwich Free Ferry has carried vehicles and passengers continuously since 1889. In the 1950s a ride on the ferry formed part of the London River Tour run by London Transport. From North Woolwich the tour took the ferry across the Thames before returning to London through Greenwich. The original paddle steamers were replaced with new diesel-engine boats in 1963. Today the ferry is managed by Transport for London and remains the only free ferry in England. A London Transport River Tour sightseeing coach on the Woolwich ferry, 1951.

The genteel houses of Greenwich and Blackheath were joined by more modest dwellings as local industries grew and the need for workers increased. The transport network of rail, buses and trams gradually extended to service the growing population. Greenwich was one of the last areas of London to have horse trams. Blackheath station, opened in 1849, is the building below the Dannatt sign, c1900.

  • Greenwich Waterfront Transit
    Greenwich Waterfront Transit Summary Report This report has been produced by TfL Integration Further copies may be obtained from: Tf L Integration, Windsor House, 42–50 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0TL Telephone 020 7941 4094 July 2001 GREENWICH WATERFRONT TRANSIT • SUMMARY REPORT Foreword In 1997, following a series of strategic studies into the potential for intermediate modes in different parts of outer London, London Transport (LT) commenced a detailed assessment under the title “Greenwich Waterfront Transit” of a potential scheme along the south bank of the Thames between Greenwich Town Centre and Thamesmead then on to Abbey Wood. In July 2000, LT’s planning functions were incorporated into Transport for London (TfL). A major factor in deciding to carry out a detailed feasibility study for Waterfront Transit has been the commitment shown by Greenwich and Bexley Councils to assist in the development of the project and their willingness to consider the principle of road space re-allocation in favour of public transport. This support, as well as that of other bodies such as SELTRANS, Greenwich Development Agency,Woolwich Development Agency and the Thames Gateway London Partnership, is acknowledged by TfL. The ongoing support of these bodies will be crucial if the proposals are to proceed. A major objective of this exercise has been to identify the traffic management measures required to achieve segregation and high priority over other traffic to encourage modal shift towards public transport, particularly from the private car. It is TfL’s view,supported by the studies undertaken, that the securing of this segregation and priority would be critical in determining the success of Waterfront Transit.

BECKENHAM COPERS COPE & KANGLEY BRIDGE Character The introduction of the railway in mid-Victorian times saw Beckenham develop from a small village into a town on the edge of suburbia. The majority of dwellings in the area are Victorian with some 1940’s and 50’s flats and houses. On the whole houses tend to have fair sized gardens; however, where there are smaller dwellings and flatted developments there is a lack of available off-street parking. During the later part of the 20th century a significant number of Victorian villas were converted or replaced by modern blocks of flats or housing. Ten conservation areas have been established to help preserve and enhance the appearance of the area reflecting the historic character of the area.

  • Green Chain Walk – Section 6 of 11
    Transport for London.. Green Chain Walk. Section 6 of 11. Oxleas Wood to Mottingham. Section start: Oxleas Wood. Nearest stations Oxleas Wood (bus stop on Shooters Hill / A207) to start: or Falconwood . Section finish: Mottingham. Nearest stations Mottingham to finish: Section distance: 3.7 miles (6.0 kilometres). Introduction. Walk in the footsteps of royalty as you pass Eltham Palace and the former hunting grounds of the Tudor monarchs who resided there. The manor of Eltham came into royal possession on the death of the Bishop of Durham in 1311. The parks were enclosed in the 14th Century and in 1364 John II of France yielded himself to voluntary exile here. In 1475 the Great Hall was built on the orders of Edward IV and the moat bridge probably dates from the same period. Between the reigns of Edward IV and Henry VII the Palace reached the peak of its popularity, thereafter Tudor monarchs favoured the palace at Greenwich. Directions. To reach the start of this section from Falconwood Rail Station, turn right on to Rochester Way and follow the road to Oxleas Wood. Enter the wood ahead and follow the path to the Green Chain signpost. Alternatively, take bus route 486 or 89 to Oxleas Wood stop and take the narrow wooded footpath south to reach the Green Chain signpost. From the Green Chain signpost in the middle of Oxleas Wood follow the marker posts south turning left to emerge at the junction of Welling Way and Rochester Way. Cross Rochester Way at the traffic lights and enter Shepherdleas Wood.

  • Ultimate Spectators Guide to the London Marathon
    ULTIMATE SPECTATORS GUIDE TO THE LONDON MARATHON We recommend you purchase a Travelcard to travel around London on the day as this will allow access to Rail, Tube and Bus at no extra charge. Zones 1-2 should be adequate for the travelling around the route, however if you need to go further afield, please check which zones you’ll be travelling in. Buses no longer accept cash payments. You’ll need to use a Travelcard, Oyster card or pay with a contactless debit/credit card. Please note that whilst we do have cheering stations at Tower Bridge (mile 12) and along the Victoria Embankment (mile 24) these will be manned by volunteers and we do not recommend you go to those points on race day. This is because these areas are extremely busy and it can take a long time to move through the crowds. By skipping Tower Bridge, you have more chance of seeing your runner at multiple points on the route, and by going straight to mile 25 from 19 you’ll cheer them on from the end! START AREA Although it’s advised not to accompany your runner to the start due to the high volumes of people, if you decide to see them off, please be aware that spectators will not be allowed into the assembly areas of the start. Once you’ve said your farewells and good lucks, head down the Avenue out of Greenwich Park. Once out of the park, turn left onto Nevada Street and keep walking as it turns into Burney Street.
