Every other Royal Dockyard has statutory protection, we see no reason why Deptford should be treated any differently. Though the structures are buried, they survive intact, many immediately below the modern concrete or tarmac surfaces.shipwrights palacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-88889494765229044502009-12-29T11:44:46.490+00:002009-12-29T11:44:46.490+00:00Edit: I posted the wrong NCR number before.

Here's an example of cyclestreets which seems to be working right now: as always with computer-driven maps, they make odd decisions, resist going the way you actually want to, but they're very useful for getting an idea of a route.<br /><br />http://www.cyclestreets.net/journey/97570/<br /><br />Note: it didn't like the foot tunnel when I started the journey from Deptford and forged a route via Tower Bridge so I started it up again from Island Gardens and sent it off to Waltham Abbey. The balanced and quietest routes mostly stick to NCR 1 apart from a very complicated detour just north of Victoria Park.Marmosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393430738344326838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-78364852416272101762009-12-29T11:37:30.137+00:002009-12-29T11:37:30.137+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marmosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393430738344326838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-23292912530216890102009-12-29T11:29:37.124+00:002009-12-29T11:29:37.124+00:00Thanks Marmoset, I will try and check that out at ...Thanks Marmoset, I will try and check that out at some stage - the site seems to be down for maintenance at the moment.Deptford damehttp://deptforddame.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-34991332664629708482009-12-29T09:47:49.516+00:002009-12-29T09:47:49.516+00:00He he, those lifts always get me on the way back. ...He he, those lifts always get me on the way back. Because I live up 67 steps with no lift I always try to pick up a bit of shopping when I'm out and about. However, every time I pop into Asda on the way back, the Greenwich foot tunnel lifts are always closed. Tired legs, shopping, carrying the bike up another 100 steps is not what you want at the end of a ride.<br /><br />DD, have you ever thought of uploading some of your photos onto cyclestreets.net ? There are almost no local cycling photos in the south-east - a fair few of them that do exist were put up by me. Its journey planner is also useful for planning routes up to 25 miles (or should that be kilometres?)- it incorporates cycle routes, gives you an elevation profile and offers a selection of routes - fastest, medium and pootling. <br /><br />I think it would be great to build it up as a resource for local cyclists and the more you upload, the more useful it becomes.Marmosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393430738344326838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-19505296909413297922009-12-28T23:35:47.926+00:002009-12-28T23:35:47.926+00:00Fab photos and really interesting write-up!
