Charlton and Woolwich Riverside industry
Most of the heavy industry had gone by the end of the 20th century. Since the 1980s manufacturing has gradually given way to retail and light industry such as warehouses, builders merchants, vehicle repairs, and light engineering. Aggregates handling still takes place along the riverside.
There is a planning masterplan to redevelop the area yet again by 2027, with Marks & Spencers and Sainsbury's superstores, university buildings, hotels and yet more high-rise housing. In 2012/13 demolition of older buildings (including housing on the north side of Woolwich Road) was under way. This sequence of photos is an attempt to record what is left before it disappears.
