The Olympia Warehouse is an Integral
ReplyDeletePart of the Deptford Royal Dockyard Site.
This should be Viewable from the River
just as it has been since the 1840's.
With Deptford Navy Days the River View in
ReplyDeleteFront of the Historic Olympia Warehouse of
the 1840's will be Graced by a Couple of
Patrol Vessels of the Royal Navy at the very
Least
Equally the Sight of Wooden Replica Warships
being Built and Launched will Add to the
View from Father Thames
The Olympia Building is a Splendid Part of
ReplyDeletethe Naval Heritage and it's View should Not
be Obscured by Skyscrapers
This Building with it's Naval Heritage can
be at the Heart of Deptford Navy Days as
with the Great Basin
The Whole Deptford Royal Dockyard Site is
ReplyDeletepart of the Nation's Heritage.
Properly given the New Lease of Life Deptford
Town too will Benefit and the Scenery will
make a Change from the Sterile Skyscrapers of
Canary Wharf and the City of London
The Site of Deptford Royal Dockyard is
ReplyDeleteIntegral to our Naval Heritage.
A Government which will Bring Deptford
Royal Dockyard Site back to Life as
Opposed to being Buried beneath Characterless
Skyscrapers is Essential
