The Mitre, Tunnel Avenue

JanetLegault | Mon, 2007-08-13 17:22

I was extremely interested to see the 1890's pic of the Mitre as a relative-by-marriage was the licensed victualler at the time (George Hallam). Where can I obtain a copy of the original photo?

Does anyone have any information on the remodelling? Judging by the modern pics, it looks as if the top floor was removed.


Residents of Creed Place

wgarlick | Mon, 2007-03-19 21:43

Having just found your website, I was very pleased to see the photographs of Creed Place, where my great grand parents once lived, somewhat before 1920 though, Christchurch where they were married and "the New Public Baths?". It helped me to visualize their home and surroundings. Does anyone know where the "older public baths" may have been?

Company info/location

Eeyore | Sat, 2006-11-11 18:55

I have added some hopefully useful information to each of the Company entries relating to both their precise location and their function. I am unclear as to where Johnson & Phillips and J. Stone & Co. had premises on the Peninsula..

- Add copy-write statement.
- What is the appropriate license? Creative common?
- Show author on image & audio pages.
- Good to have map.
- Create "not company" categories etc. + "Not known".

Ideas for the future

  • Talking about & clearly showing the old days important for older gen (this new fangled technology was confusing), how can we make these things more accessible? Constance didn't understand anything really! :)

Logged in.. but not logged in..!

Eeyore | Sun, 2006-09-24 21:55

Tom..

For some reason tonight I can log in and am reported as being logged in, can visit Audio.. and still be shown as logged in.. but on selecting the Peggy Dibble interview, the status shows 'Login' again. I therefore can't currently edit that page and post the completed transcript for this interview.

Things to do

admin | Wed, 2006-09-20 16:48

- Attach more audio extracts to images as this really brings the website alive.

- Automatically add the name of the person speaking to all Audio extracts "This is an extract from/ interview with ------ "

All the audio streams

admin | Wed, 2006-08-23 18:56

A useful list of the direct URL's for audio streams on the site as of Sept 4th 2006.

Gasworks to Dome is a multi-media project exploring the past and present of the people of the Greenwich Peninsula from the 1920's to the present day.

We have been creating a web site that aims to show how the area has changed over the years. The site consists of a searchable archive of old and new photographs, along with recordings of interviews with local residents.

ribdavis | Wed, 2006-02-22 20:38

Over the next 4 weeks we hope to -

*Make a summary of each interveiw from audio - so we know what we've got
*Do 4 more interviews
*Transfer those interviews which we have only on minidisk to CD (Rib)

Research for adding sound

tomkeene | Tue, 2006-02-14 21:05

  • Bandwidth / space
  • Potential to use external sytems - see links below
