Muster warning on the Woolwich Free Ferry in London
The ferry at Woolwich ran between north Woolwich and Warren lane on the south shore. There is an early written reference to it in the state papers of 1308, when the waterman conducting the ferry, William de Wicton, sold his business and a house, to William Atte, a mason, for £10. It may be that this ferry was a descendant of the one from which the abbey was receiving dues in the previous centur...

The Tide Bell at Trinity Buoy Wharf.
Trinity Buoy Wharf, Greenwich, London, near to the Meridian Line. One of this bell’s potential meanings is as a time-piece or time-marker, both in the way the bell is rung by the movement of the sea at high tide daily, and as a long time marker of sea levels and present shoreline. This site is where lighthouse keepers were trained and navigation buoys were made. The bell was installed on Sept 1...

Lots of burning, sawing, building and sowing at Besson Street Community Gardens in New Cross.
Coming into the Spring the Gardens are looking really lovely. Potatoes are planted and a new strawberry wall is being built. A large bonfire was built to get rid of all the winter rubbish. Over a hundred sunflowers have been potted. Last week was one of the volunteers birthday, we had a barbecue. #bessonstreet #newcross #gardens #kenderstreet #schoo.

Thames21. A charity that helps keep canals and rivers clean. The River Pool Improvement work in Catford, London is coming along well. A newly discovered pond is found and a new wetland area is set up.
The Thames cycle path follows the River Pool for some of the way as it goes through Catford on it's way down to Deptford Creek where it spills out into the Thames. I have watched the changes over the last 3 years and I spoke to Habitat and Restoration officer Victor Richardson. I asked him about the changes being made by him and his team of volunteers. .

Besson Street Gardens. A perfect piece of Heaven in the center of London. I speak to Dan who set up and runs the maintenance of the Gardens with the help of volunteers.
Kender Street, in the historic manor of Hatcham, was first laid out in the 1820s and houses from this time do survive. Besson Street, running off it, was built up by the 1860s. Much of the housing in these close-knit streets was swept away in the early 1970s when the Kender Estate was built by the Greater London Council. At the same time the New Cross Gate one-way system was created, which saw ...

Edwina Curry doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. Here are a collection of people who are suffering in this tough economic time. Not one of them have spent their money on Tattoos or the the high life.
A third of food bank users are pensioners, Bela is from Hungary, he was tricked into coming to London and ended up living on the streets. And a mother with no tattoos who is vulnerable and had her benefits stopped. I met her at Ray Woodford's Food bank in Deptford. Finally Simon Allen from the Jericho Road project explains what they do. #foodbank #immigration #edwinacurry # http://lewishamcamp...
