Wharves around Greenwich

[alfiesdad]

Afternoon all,
Just a starter from a new member. Has anybody got any pictures of shipping in Greenwich, I grew up there in the 70's/80's, just at the end of the road from Lovell's Wharf.
In that time we had Anchor Iron Wharf handling scrap
Lovell's handled steel and other metals
Granite Wharf, Wimpeys asphalt batching plant
Badcocks Wharf who where busy converting Crescent ships for cable laying
Tunnel Refineries handling maize for processing
Victoria Deep Water Terminal, short sea containers
Deptford Creek was busy too with mostly scrap and stone and aggregates
Convoys, paper, timber and pulp
Any photos of vessels at Lovell's and Victoria Deep Wharf are especially what im looking for.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Alfiesdad,

Suggest you visit the site on a regular basis.I.for one,have posted many of shipping on the Thames-including all the wharfs you mentioned and I know so have others,BUT we have posted them in the general coaster section and NOT in the separate section of Wharfs around Greenwich.

Glad to be of help,

Cheers,Rick

p.s.in my younger days I was brought up at Erith & Plumpsted.
