Greenwich was home to a royal palace from medieval times and was a
particular favourite of the Tudor monarchs, and the Royal
Observatory was built in Greenwich Park in the reign of Charles II.
Lying on the River Thames in South East London, it has a strong
maritime heritage, reflected today in the buildings of the Royal
Naval College and the National Maritime Museum, and the Cutty Sark
in the dry dock. The centre of Greenwich has long attracted many to
its market, shops, museums and theatres, but Greenwich has also
been an industrial area and recent decades have seen massive
changes along the riverfront and on the peninsula where the old
industries have been largely swept away in urban regeneration
schemes. Greenwich Reflections features an exciting collection of
historic and modern pictures that are individually merged to reveal
how the area has changed over the decades. Each of the 180 pictures
in this book combines a recent colour view of Greenwich with the
matching sepia archive scene. Through the split-image effect,
readers can see how streets, buildings, the docks and everyday life
have transformed with the passing of time. Author David Ramzan
presents this fascinating visual chronicle that ingeniously
reflects past and present glimpses of Greenwich. This book will be
of interest to residents, visitors, local historians and all those
with links to the area.
