There were two families in our house.<br />One of the comments posted earlier is from no.33 Monks, I was friends with David Monks when we were kids.<br />By the entrance to the tunnel adjacent to the horse trough there was a pub called the Star In The East. The arch over the entrance to the tunnel was occupied by a family called Alcock, not sure if that is the correct spelling. The arch is still there but has not been used as living accommodation for many years now. <br />My grandfather worked in the gas works digging out the sulphur filters, and my uncle was a crane driver there.

They lived at 11 Marlton Street from around 1911 for a long time. They had 17 children I think and William was a boiler makers holder up at the gasworks. It would be amazing if anyone knows anything about the family, my great grandma died in 1967.

I think we moved in either 1965 or 1966 to the other side of Greenwich, to a new council estate in Thornham Street.
