The lost Eltham & Woolwich pictures ...... no.26 on a sunny day

For four decades the pictures I took of Eltham and Woolwich in the late ‘70’s sat undisturbed in our cellar.

But all good things eventually come to light.

They were colour slides which have been transferred electronically.

The quality of the original lighting and the sharpness is sometimes iffy, but they are a record of a lost Eltham and Woolwich.

It was, as I remember a warm day and the place was busy.

Woolwich was always a tad more edgy than Eltham High Street, but that was part of the attraction.

Back then I would take friends from Manchester around, showing off the river, the ferry and of course the market stalls.

They always left impressed.
