Blimey, this took me to my teenage years. I lived at Plumstead common and went to school in Woolwich; explored that whole area before Thamesmead was built both on foot and by bike; my best mate did his carpentry apprenticeship at the building of Thamesmead; played Sunday football on Winns Common ... too much to mention! Thanks for the memories.

Watching this video brought back many memories for me after living in Woolwich thru to my Nan, Grandad & Aunt living up on The Common. Many many years walking to & from. Thn finding my Dad aft a few lost years living along the sewer pipe in SE2. To thn meeting my husband moving to Thamesmead & bringing our family into the world, to our Wedding & living alongside the Thamespath spending many nights walking along the last part of your walk up in Thamesmead Thank You for the journey back into my life basically Amazing

First of your videos I've watched and as I lived on Thamesmead from when the Tramsheds were still standing in the 70's and derelict to now living off of Wickham lane where the old bus terminus stood, now replaced with Wickes and picturing all of the roads and greenery that you've walked, I've found this really fascinating. I have actually walked a lot of this route over the years rather than take the bus and watching this today has made me realise how much I'm missing out on, as chemo gave me heart failure hence a 15 minute slow walk each day is about my limit, BUT I'd really love to be able to follow in your footsteps... I guess I'll just have to get the enjoyment from following your excellent videos instead, so thanks millions for some great memories as well as brilliant history knowledge.

Yet again a wonderful video. I had a chuckle about the offering to the sock god. Regarding the green box with the yellow padlock near the beginning of the video, I can tell you that it is a fire brigade padlock. I work in hospital maintenance and we have a lot of fire brigade padlocks there, so I have a key for that, Maybe it is for a water supply in case of fire. My daughter always laughs at me because I am always saying I have a key for that. Bob.

Grew up in this area and spent most of my youth in Bostall woods. Thamesmead is built on the marshes over the sewer bank when I was very young. In them days the whole area was owned by the artillery and used as a tank range. You missed one important part of Bostall woods, which was Dick Turpins caves in the co-OP woods. These caves went underground all the way to Chislehurst caves in Kent through Sidcup. Loved the video.

thank you for video upload, as a child I lived in Thamesmead and visited the ruins often, by walking from Thamesmead to the abbey and up through the woods as a child it seemed the day was so long then and could go on forever..

@billbarden5442 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Lee You hit the nail right on the head with the phrase " the day was so long then and could go on for ever " This is exactly how I remember days as a little boy at Lesnes Abbey with my Grandad. I was born in 1961 and grew up in North Woolwich. Before I went to school or nursery, he would take me out. Sometimes just up the park in North woolwich. But if it wasnt raining, we would get the ferry over to Woolwich South and then get a bus to Lesnes Abbey. It was always a brilliant day. He would bring a packed lunch with lovely sandwiches made by my granny , and her fairy cakes and always loads of chocolate and orange squash. He would let me climb on the ruins. When I got to the top I felt like I was King on my Castle - I didnt care it was all ruins . Like you said - the day could go on for ever and at Lesnes Abbey - it did ! Strange how our time perception changes. Days are still the same length yet now ( I am 58 ) a month can pass in a blink of an eye. What I wouldnt give to be a kid again - just for 5 mins Very Best Chris

Your walk took me back to the First 24 years of my life John, but I knew little of the history. I did know Dick Turpin's connection to the area, and as a kid would go into the woods directly behind LesNes Abbey and find fossilized Sharks Teeth in the sand. Even then it was dangerous and fenced off as there are sinkholes all through the woods, but now living in Australia, I remember the masses of bluebells in those woods followed by native daffodils. Thanks for enriching my nostalgia for home with your well researched walks John.

The Canals you mentioned were there before the houses. Its all part of the the Woolwich arsenal. The canals were for transporting munitions around and to isolate the powder houses in case of fire. When testing the 15 inch guns that were made there they fired them across the river to Dagenham. convicts to Australia were gathered on prison hulks on the point and were made to file down cannon balls while awaiting transportation the rejects were used as tallest on the ships the word POME comes from there and is Point of migration is East (East of London) not the more popular Prisoner of Mother England
