Excavations at Convoys Wharf
On Saturday 20th April I attended the Naval Dockyard Society's conference at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
The conference celebrated 500 years of Deptford and Woolwich Royal Dockyards and I was asked to open the proceedings.
I spoke about my interest in the restoration and preservation of Deptford's naval history - particularly the Lenox and Sayes Court Garden projects - and my involvement in talks surrounding the redevelopment of Convoys Wharf.
Although I will no longer be the MP for Lewisham Deptford by the time the Convoys Wharf project is completed, I’m intending to stay involved in the process and I very much hope that local residents will as well.
