Beresford Square, Woolwich 1978. Back then the market traders seemed to squeeze into every available pocket of land, and still the buses had to make their way through.
Woolwich in the 1960s and 70s was an exciting place to grow up in. It was busy, vibrant with the Thames just at the bottom of Powis Street and much more.
I went back recently and it all seemed much tamer, much quieter and somehow less interesting.
