Greenwich's position on the south bank of the River Thames as the
gateway to London means it has long been an important place of
maritime trade and industry. The home of royal palaces and naval
establishments, as Greenwich grew it brought in huge numbers of
people to live and work in the town, and its rich wealth of
historical buildings is testament to its importance as a place of
shipbuilding, trade, industry, culture and scientific
investigation. As well as the most well-known buildings, such as
the Old Royal Naval College, Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory,
the author reveals the diversity of the buildings of Greenwich.
Places where the working population as well as the upper classes
lived, worshipped, drank and were entertained are also included, as
are iconic industrial structures - many of which have had a change
of use since they were built - interesting properties with a story
attached, and out-of-the-ordinary modern buildings, of which there
are many in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Greenwich in 50
Buildings explores the history of this fascinating area of South
East London through a selection of its most interesting buildings
and structures, showing the changes that have taken place over the
years. This book will appeal to all those who live in Greenwich or
have an interest in the area.
