A little historical tour of Deptford today interspersed with some pictures of what used to be there

Starting with some of the buildings along Deptford High Street

Trickett tea, coffee and colonial merchant history and a little bit of information about the fairground ride which used to be run by Charles Cain and his family.

The set of Galloping horses on the ground were sold and now still operate at Great Yarmouth pleasure Beach

Deptford Train station and me pretending to be Thomas the tank engine

Deptford Station before the refurbishment

The oldest house in Deptford, St Paul's Church, a very unpleasant bit and Albury Street with magnificent Sea Captains houses

Number 150 Deptford high Street still standing with the bombed space next to it on the left and the rebuilt house on the right

Rachel Macmillan, Deptford creek and Peter the Great

Peter the Great statue and the halfpenny Hatch old pedestrian toll Bridge in Deptford

I stand corrected. Peter the Great was massive. 6'8" or over 2 metres tall.

Here is an old photo of the Halfpenny Hatch footbridge and toll in Deptford and the new modern one.

This is the end of the Deptford tour

Hope you enjoyed the videos and the little snippets of info
