Greenwich & Lewisham Weekender - April 26th 2023

Thank you for working with us

As Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Environment and Transport, I’d like to say a personal thank you to all our residents for your efforts to recycle effectively.

Back in February, we began collecting general waste from properties that use wheelie bins every two weeks. We’ve also stopped collecting recycling bins that contain the wrong item.

With your help we’ve already seen a 10.7% reduction in the amount of recycling being rejected when it’s first sorted. This is a brilliant step towards our target to become a carbon neutral borough by 2030.

Over the next four years, one of the Council’s missions is for our borough is to play an active role in tackling the climate crisis. By reducing the amount of general waste we produce we are closer to reaching this. We can only make this happen with the support of our residents. So once again, I thank you all for your commitment to shaping a greener future for Royal Greenwich.

Pepper & Honey (and biscuits!) at Greenwich Theatre

Ideas around identity and home are at the crux of NotNow Collective’s show Pepper & Honey. It follows Croatian immigrant Ana, who has arrived in the UK determined to make it her home, despite the voice of her grandmother cautioning her to stay true to her national identity. But the longer Ana remains in the UK, the less she feels like a foreigner in her adopted country and the more her concept of home starts to shift. Traditional Croatian pepper biscuits are not only central to the narrative, they’re baked live during the show – and offered to the audience! Greenwich Theatre, Crooms Hill, London SE10 8ES. April 30, 7:30pm. Admission: £15. www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk/events/pepperhoney/

World-famous ballet school partners with Woolwich Works

Cuba’s prestigious Acosta Dance Foundation, spearheaded by worldleading ballet star Carlos Acosta, has announced a partnership with Woolwich Works. The arts hub, which already plays home to Luca Silvestrini’s Protein dance company as well as immersive theatre company Punchdrunk, National Youth Jazz Orchestra, Chineke! Orchestra and Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, will house the Acosta Dance Centre. The professional Acosta Dance troupe will use the site as its rehearsal space, and a British branch of the Acosta Dance Foundation, which is committed to providing free dance classes to children in underprivileged areas, is also in the pipeline, writes Holly O’Mahony…

While the Acosta Dance Centre itself will launch later in the year if all goes to plan, the Acosta company has moved into a building within the Woolwich Works complex, where it’s offering an adults dance club, with nine different classes – salsa, contemporary and ballet yoga among them – for £8 per class. They’ve also launched a community engagement programme, ‘Rise up and dance’, delivering this for free to schools around Greenwich, with a plan to offer more dance for local children from September.

Former professional ballet dancer Javier Torres has taken on the role of Managing Director of the Foundation. The position arose at the perfect moment for Javier: he received the call from Carlos while

in his final season as a professional dancer last year, during which he was also completing a masters degree in business administration as a contingency plan for what to do next.

Carols and Javier have shared the stage several times over the years, both at Cuban dance festivals and for gala performances here in the UK, but the launch of the Acosta Dance Centre in England marks the start of their professional partnership.

“My job has been to restructure the organisation and strategise the expansion into the UK, opening the Dance Centre here in Woolwich later this year,” explains Javier when we speak. In Cuba, the Acosta Dance Foundation offers three years of

free ballet training for kids from underrepresented backgrounds. Exactly what the UK branch will offer is yet to be determined, however Javier reveals it will run on the same mission as its Cuban counterpart: to inspire a dancer in every home.

It was his own upbringing that inspired Carlos to set up the Foundation. He was plucked from a disadvantaged neighbourhood of Havana and put into dance classes, which eventually led to him becoming one the foremost names in ballet around the world. Today, as well as running his own company, the 49-year-old is also the director of Birmingham Royal Ballet. Through the Acosta Dance Foundation, which was established in 2011, Carlos hopes to offer

others similar opportunities.

Javier’s journey into dance was largely inspired by his parents. His mum was a radio actress in Cuba and his dad a director in theatre, radio and TV. As such, a culturally rich life was always on the cards, but like Carlos, he’s committed to offering young people the opportunities he had.

If the Acosta Dance Foundation in Cuba is the first pillar of Carlos’s business plan, the Acosta Dance Centre in Woolwich is the second, with a third digital pillar hoping to reach international dancers and audiences in the near future.

Why Woolwich? “Woolwich is a great place to be at the moment. It’s a

new, trendy area, [and] expanding with Carlos’s name here will be an opportunity for the dance sector to see Woolwich as the UK’s new dance hub,” reasons Javier.

“We want people around the world to have a connection with dance and experience what dance can do for you to change your life. Dance is not an elite art form.”

Teechers Leavers 22: John Godber has updated his 1985 play – and it’s showing at Greenwich Theatre

Last year, an updated version of John Godber’s 1985 play Teechers ran at the Hull Truck theatre (where the play originally premiered in 1987) as part of the venue’s 50th anniversary celebrations. Running under the new name Teechers Leavers 22, the play – which has been updated by John himself – includes references to academy schools, remote learning and TikTok to boost its relevance to today’s school-age audiences.

The original play had long been a favourite of theatre director Adrian McDougall. Having grown up in a family of teachers, a lot about the show resonated with him, and he’d previously toured three productions of it with his company Blackeyed Theatre. So when playwright John Godber got in touch to ask whether he’d be interested in taking Teechers Leavers 22 on tour in 2023, Adrian was quick to say yes.

The Weekender spoke to Adrian McDougall, artistic director of Blackeyed Theatre, to find out more about the production…

Holly O’Mahony: What attracted you to John Godber’s play Teechers?

Adrian McDougall: It’s a play I just love. We’ve toured the original version, Teechers, three times – in 2013, 2015 and 2018 – partly because it’s great fun to put together and audiences love it. But it also fits perfectly with the company’s identity in terms of its theatrical style. It’s pure theatre and a celebration of the creative power of live performance. It’s a lesson in doing a lot with not a lot and what you can do with imagination.

My relationship with the play took on a greater relevance as a result of

the pandemic. When theatres shut their doors and the only way to reach audiences was online, I started going back through our archive recordings and found a digital version of Teechers, which we’d had recorded for a sign interpreter. I reached out to John’s agent to ask if they’d be open to us putting the recording online and offering schools free access to it. John, being John, said yes and we had 500 schools email us for the link. Suddenly we were supporting students as far away as New Zealand!

HOM: The play is known for being accessible to young audiences. How come?

AMD: In Teechers, we, the audience, become the teachers and school friends of the pupils, creating a unique relationship between audience and actors, and placing us firmly at the centre of the story. For many of our young audience members, it’s their first experience of live theatre, and because Teechers is based on school life, it’s immediately relevant and engaging.

HOM: What’s the play about?

AMD: The play tells the story of three Year 11 students about to leave school who put on an endof-term play for their mates and teachers. They dramatise their final year and all the weird and wonderful characters they encounter using just a few tables and chairs.

HOM: It’s not the original Teechers, but the playwright’s own update of the show, Teechers Leavers 22, that you’re bringing to Greenwich Theatre, isn’t it?

AMD: Yes. This rewrite of the 1987 play ran to acclaim last spring at the Hull Truck Theatre. In Teechers Leavers ’22, Salty, Gail and Hobby get a new drama teacher, who inspires them to use their imaginations, think creatively and challenge convention. It’s a powerful message about the importance of the arts and the good that can come from great teaching. We were due to tour the original version of the play, then one Sunday evening I received an email from

John Godber himself, asking if we’d like to use the updated script instead. I had a read of the script and of course it didn’t take long for us to say yes. It was a no-brainer!

HOM: With references to academy schools and TikTok, it sounds like the play has been brought fully up to date. What do you make of the rewrites?

AMD: The updated script is brilliant. It’s more hard-hitting and angry. The original will always be relevant to a modern audience, because in terms of inequality in this country, very little has changed in 40 years. In fact, every time we’ve taken the play out, it’s felt like its relevance has grown year on year. But what the rewrite does is place the story very much in 2022, and in particular that unique period when we were still very much in the midst of a pandemic but trying to get back to normal, when mask-wearing and sanitising were still daily rituals. It brings in remote learning and touches on issues such as mental health. The point it makes is that all those challenges young people leaving state school faced were amplified by the pandemic. Far from having a laptop or a tablet to write an essay, Salty, Hobby and Gail – the protagonists of the piece – are forced to write them on a phone.

HOM: With Ofsted [the Office for Standards in Education] in the headlines over the last few weeks, is it fair to say a play about a school that’s failed its inspection is even

more relevant this year than last?

AMD: In short, yes. It’s so sad that it takes something as tragic as the suicide of a headteacher to push something into the headlines, but the reality is Ofsted has been unpopular with a large proportion of the teaching profession for many many years. Both my parents were teachers and my sister is a deputy head teacher, and I grew up listening to anti-Ofsted rhetoric around the dinner table. In fact, back when I was a teenager, my father had a nervous breakdown due to stress at work, so this hits close to home. Rating a school as ‘inadequate’ is damaging and punitive, and it’s based on an overly simplistic tick box exercise that places far too much emphasis on results and league tables. Teachers go into the profession to help young people learn and develop. But we have an academy system that’s commercialised education to the point where the relationship between teacher and student is no longer valued. Education in our country has become transactional rather than transformational, where academies are run like businesses and students rated on how many facts they can recall.

HOM: Is there a particular moment in the show that resonates with audiences today, that perhaps wouldn’t have so much in the 1980s?

AMD: There’s a recurring line about the cost of a pint of milk that wasn’t

in the original version. John has included it as an example of the rising cost of living, but also to question to what extent our politicians are in touch with the reality of a family on the breadline. How many of our MPs would actually know the cost of a pint of milk? It feels to me as if MPs today are perhaps less in touch with things like that than they were 40 years ago. There’s also a swipe at ‘party gate’, which tends to get a reaction!

HOM: Teechers Leavers ‘22 is a comedy, but as well as making audience laugh, is there anything you hope they leave thinking about?

AMD: There are many strands to the play and to a great extent it depends on your own personal lens what you’ll take away from it. Certainly the widening gap between children at deprived, cash-strapped schools and those in private education is clear. Regardless of your politics, surely we all agree that young people deserve the right to be educated to their potential. Sadly, the opportunity gap is widening. We’re allowing those without to fall between the cracks, regardless of their talents, hopes and dreams. Amid the comedy mayhem of Teechers, that’s the tragedy.

Teechers Leavers 22 is showing at Greenwich Theatre, Crooms Hill, London SE10 8ES. April 27 - 29, 7:30pm and additionally at 2:30pm on April 29. Admission: £15 - £17.50.

the World reimagined: an art trail for racial equality comes to Greenwich

Think back on your time at school. What did you learn in history class? As a nation, it’s only recently that many of us are waking up to the fact that for all we learnt about the feats of the British Empire, few pages of our textbooks were dedicated to the people our ancestral conquerors trampled on, murdered or enslaved in order to colonise chunks of the world. Here to teach us more about it is The World Reimagined, an outdoor art installation showing outside the National Maritime Museum, writes Holly O’Mahony…

The World Reimagined is made up of 36 globes designed by different artists, each a piece in the puzzle of the transatlantic slave trade that fuelled Britain’s wealth and prosperity at the time. Some depict scenes of slavery, others offer more hopeful visions of emancipation and a racially just future. As a whole, the aim of the installation is to transform our understanding of the transatlantic slave trade and it’s continuing impact on all of us, to ‘explore the world as it is and the

world as it could be’. Through this, the team behind it argues, we can hope to make racial justice a reality.

Some of the globes have been designed by artists whose work visitors may have come across before, like British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare and illustrator Vashti Harrison, while other globes were offered to emerging talent to design.

Having toured major cities around the UK in 2022, the public art

trail has arrived at the National Maritime Museum, where it remains on display until June 25.

The World Reimagined organisation, which also runs an ‘INSPIRE programme’ to financially support organisations working to achieve racial equality, is run by prominent figures in the Black British community, including Rt Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin, artistic director of the Young Vic theatre Kwame Kwei-Armah CBE, Baroness Floella Benjamin and former

police officer Leroy Logan MBE.

The World Reimagined said: “For too long, the history of the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans has been untold, unheard, or mistaught. In the UK, we celebrate with pride the Trade’s abolition – but the people who were enslaved and their descendants; Britain’s role in the Trade’s creation; and the Trade’s devastating legacy are usually missing from how history is told. This is not ‘Black History’, this is all of our history.

“We are living in a key moment for racial justice and it calls on us to courageously face our shared history with honesty, empathy and grace so we can create a new future in which all can say: I am seen.”

The World Reimagined is showing at the National Maritime Museum, Romney Road, London SE10 9NF. Until June 25, 10am - 5pm.

Admission: FREE.

Last week I said that I would take some of the items from the 1982 book ‘The Industrial Archaeology of South-East London’, and see what has happened to the sites chosen in 1982 over the past forty years - and tell you a bit about them. Doing it alphabetically - if I start at ‘A’ I have a site which I will call ‘Albion’ (you will understand why in a moment) but which in SELIA is called ‘Rigging House, Sail Loft and Engine Store’ and it was on Woolwich Dockyard site.

So, what does SELIA say about it? It says a lot. Most of the entries in SELIA are just one or two lines. This one is quite lengthy.

“This building is most important one remaining on the site and is currently in use as a glucose factory. Originally built between 1842 and 1846 … the riverside slipway was covered over in 1857 … it presents a brick façade to the river … the rear building is a remarkably modern appearance even though dating from the mid-19th century …. It is a four-storey structure of cast-iron load bearing sections … work is by H. & M.D.Grissell of the Regent’s Canal Ironworks. London’. In order to find out more I went to something which was not available to SELIA’s authors – ‘The Survey of London, Woolwich’. A book which came out in 2012 following a great deal of research by Peter Guillory and his team as part of this University College based long-term study of London parishes –the series began in 1894 and has since moved on to Wapping, and, I think, Chelsea. Anyway if there is anything to be known at all about any building in Woolwich which might be interesting – well, here is where to find out.

In the chapter on Woolwich Dockyard the Survey says: In 1850–1 substantial buildings were erected to ... provide a rigging house and an engine store… linked in 1856 by the addition of a range .. to provide workshops for riggers and sailmakers. This was, deceptively, given an arcaded brick façade to the river, but it was otherwise a cast-iron framed structure, probably designed by Col. Greene. (It was) a significant precursor of a building that has great renown in structural history, Greene’s Sheerness Boat Store.

So – what is the ‘Boat Store’ at Sheerness and why is it so important? There are lots of historic buildings’ people going on about it and its poor condition.

Here’s Historic England: “Since the destruction of the Crystal Palace and the first South Kensington Museum, this is the earliest surviving example of a multi-storey iron-

Albion sugar works

frame and panel structure. Its condition is rapidly deteriorating.”

Here’s The Victorian Society: one of the Top Ten Most Endangered Victorian and Edwardian Buildings in England and Wales. ….. the all-metal frame, made rigid by portal bracing, was pioneering. It was subsequently adopted by early skyscrapers in Chicago, and universally used for modern steel-framed buildings.

Oh! Right! So what happened to the Woolwich Dockyard Building. Let us guess? – Oh, it was demolished in 1981! But before that it did have another life for the army’s Inspection Department - but, remember, I was going to call this site ’Albion’.

One day in 1966 my friend, Sylv, said her husband, Cliff, had got a new job. He had been working at Tunnel Glucose in Greenwich and was now at somewhere called ‘Albion’. I had no idea where that was but, as it happens, I now have a pamphlet dating from 1929 about the Albion Sugar works on the Woolwich Dockyard site

Now, before people start saying that sugar manufacture must mean there is a slavery link, the answer is ‘I don’t know’. I know that Tunnel Glucose used maize to make sugars but the Albion booklet says that they had ‘raw sugar’ delivered. I also know that many works used beet sugar rather than imported cane. Anyway I would be grateful for anyone who could tell me if they know what raw materials Albion used and where it came from.

Albion were set up by Gillman and Spencer, Bermondsey cereal millers, to make invert sugar for the brewing industry. They were very pleased to find the old rigging store and they wanted to build there an invert sugar plant to the most modern designs. Albion Wharf was ideal. They said the building was a ‘thoroughly substantial structure’, with a river frontage and a ‘granite wall 400 feet long which no private concern could afford to build today’. There was an 18 feet berth from which goods could be taken direct to the warehouse and an inlet from the Thames ‘was a means of supplying water in unlimited quantities’. There was a private railway

siding connected to the main lines ‘available for speedy and economical work’ and ‘a splendid road skirts the premises’. They had found a good Works Manager in Mr Thomas Dick ‘there is no better-known figure in the sugar industry’ coming to London from Greenock. And this booklet has a whole set of really great pictures – far too many to show here, sadly.

Albion eventually closed in 1979 although there had been extensions - a large maize silo was added in 1962, and there were further improvements later. When they went the site was cleared.

The site is now all housing and I understand it was built by Fairview homes. I am pretty sure it is the area which is now along Harbinger Road and I don’t know what the ‘Harbinger’ name is al about except that it describes somebody who comes from Harlingen in the Netherlands. Perhaps somebody knows why those very names were used.

I’m sure that’s a very nice place to ive with wonderful views of the river and I will guess that hardly anybody who lives there knows anything about the rigging store or the glucose refinery.

Greenwich Builds council homes and Woolwich Works nominated for prestigious architecture prize

We’re delighted to announce that some of our Greenwich Builds council homes and Woolwich Works, our refurbishment of a group of disused ex-military and grade II listed building to create a new cultural venue, have both been shortlisted for one of the most prestigious prizes in building design: a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) award!

The nominated homes, in Woodmore Mews, Charlton, designed by Peter Barber Architects, are for over-60s on our housing waiting list. Another of our Greenwich Builds developments was shortlisted in 2022, a testament to the

quality of the council homes we are building across the borough.

Since it opened Woolwich Works has also won an award for conservation from New London Architecture and was named Best New Culture Spot in London by Time Out.

The Plumstead Centre has been winning awards too. Our refurbishment and extension of a grade II-listed public library in Plumstead won a RIBA Regional London Award and a RIBA London Conservation Award in 2022.

Royal Greenwich leads in good food table ranking

We have been recognised for our efforts to tackle the cost of living crisis and the impacts of COVID-19 by ensuring our residents have access to affordable, healthy and sustainable food.

We are in one of the top spots in the latest Good Food for All Londoners report, scoring 93% for council action on tackling the causes of food insecurity, and supporting residents to buy and eat good food.

Councillor Denise Scott-McDonald, Cabinet Member for Health and Adults’ Social Care, said: “Food insecurity is a concern faced by so many across the country, and our borough is no exception. We are proud to be working with local partners, schools and nurseries, to ensure we tackle this issue at its root.

“From keeping up energy levels to providing nutrients and so much more, we recognise that a well-balanced diet is vital in allowing our communities to thrive.”
