Clearly there are some BIG things - the gasholder and so on
but there are also lots of little things - street furniture and so on.A lot of things have disappeared and many were 'tidied up' for the Olympics - a good example was the tram telephone box in Blackwall Lane which no doubt ended up a skip somewhere - and the Blackheath Electricity Co. junction box on the A2 traffic island - removed for the sake of tidiness!!
If you know of anything - BIG - small - let us know. Either append it as a comment here - or send to indhistgreenwich@aol.com

War department boundary markers in Woolwich have been disappearing (eg. outside Peggy Middleton House). I do hope the Woolwich/Plumstead boundary post in Scott's Passage will becretained when the Spray St Quarter development happens.
Over in Plumstead, a few of us have been taking pictures of various street furniture bits and bobs. Where should we send them?
Deborah -it has been suggested to us that we - that's Greenwich Industrial History Society - should try and draw up a list, which could be the basis of something more official later on, but that at least it would be a start. We are exploring ways in which we could fund getting it done in a more codified way. In the meantime I'm happy to hang on to lists and to make sure they are in a safe place. indhistgreenwich@aol.com is a start
