Hi Everyone, @josh_frost89 here for today’s ##LowTideLockdown exploring the rich and complex maritime history of #Deptford. We’ll be taking a virtual walk along the foreshore from Watergate Street up to St George’s Stairs.
Deptford’s maritime and shipbuilding history goes back to the formation by Henry VIII of a dockyard here is 1513, a year after the one at Woolwich. The dockyard was built in the area around Deptford Strand and can be seen in this map owned John Evelyn from 1623 #LockdownLowTide
