Mick Delap The History of Deptford Creek

Mick Delap talks about the ferment of hugely successful industrial innovation along Deptford Creek in the hundred years between 1825 and 1925 - how and why it happened here - and how, by 1925, nearly a hundred years ago, Deptford Creek’s industries were rapidly running out of steam. Finally, how, in 2022, he and a group of colleagues, with the support of the Greenwich Society and other local organisations, are fighting hard to rescue the story of the Creek’s glory days from oblivion, and make it available once more, via the story boards of the proposed CreekLink Heritage Trail.
