Riverside entrance to Trinity Hospital, Greenwich

This was a 'hospital' in the older sense of a retirement home. The inscription under the clock reads 'Hospitale Sanctae et Individuae Trinitatis Grenwici' (Hospital of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Greenwich)

For other views of this building, see TQ3878 : Trinity hospital and TQ3878 : Old Royal Naval hospital almshouse.

Trinity Hospital

The hospital was founded as almshouses by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, in 1617. A board near its entrance reads: "Since 1617 it has provided a home for 21 retired gentlemen of Greenwich." The hospital was rebuilt in 1812 in its present Gothic style, and is still in use. The charity is run by Mercer.

TQ3878 : Isle of Dogs. TQ3878 : Isle of Dogs.

I can confirm that the shots show the original (now demolished) Island Gardens Station. I was seconded to the DLR (from London Underground) for 12 months in 1995 as the Senior Manager responsible for Stations.

The DLR was built to a budget and from the moment it opened has been constantly growing. It is still the case with, not only line extensions (Woolwich and Stratford), but station extensions too. This will enable trains of 3 cars length to operate. The present maximum length is 2 cars.

The CSA (DLR staff member on the train) can and does drive the train in an emergency, or when the signal system is down for whatever reason and to maintain skill levels. Speed limit signs in these circumstances are therefore very much needed.
