It was just as I was leaving at the end of the presentations; he was going on the afternoon site tour.<br /><br />I said hi to him (I've worked with him in a previous life - I don't think he recognised me).<br /><br />M.M @ Millennium Quaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-89389706464892413042012-03-27T20:31:24.872+00:002012-03-27T20:31:24.872+00:00Dear Shipwrightspalace, since you did not manage t...Dear Shipwrightspalace, since you did not manage to sell your property for the many millions you were seeking then perhaps HW could take it off you as part of the heritage element, a Disney offering shall we say...everything has its price after all, including councils and their subjects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-90848382893327230632012-03-26T21:46:10.320+00:002012-03-26T21:46:10.320+00:00Density's Child.............@pudding..you have...Density's Child.............@pudding..you have a point here. The density of piling required amongst the high density of dockyard structures (archaeology to some) will have an irreversible detrimental impact assessed as severe in CgMs's own archaeological reports and SARM. This severe negative impact has to do with the reduction of the water table causing a drying out of the timber piling that forms the substructures to a majority of surving structures such as Rennie's 1814 basin, slipway timbers, dry dock land ties and so on. This damage could also extend to severe damage to the Master Shipwrights House and Offices which are the earliest surviving examples of these types of dockyard buildings in the country. Quite simply the density of apartements requested by the developer in the area of the borough's highest density of heritage assets is inappropriate and unachievable.shipwrightspalacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-18289046946698398162012-03-25T19:33:34.808+00:002012-03-25T19:33:34.808+00:00@deptford pudding well they would not be destroyed...@deptford pudding well they would not be destroyed, just built over. The piles would be very carefully positioned so that they didn't damage anything...even if no-one was ever going to see it again.

I initially refused their Danish pastries (bribery) but in the end was seduced by the sarnies.<br />Overall I left hopeful of some good coming from the meeting, but I thought it was disingenuous of the archeologist to keep emphasising the damage done in the 80s by development, when the proposed 3 towers and the rest would comprehensively destroy forever the remains of the dockyard. He said the walls we were shown that'd been excavated were leaning because they'd been built on a marsh, how can 46 storey towers be built on a marsh?Deptford Puddinghttp://www.deptfordpudding.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-9513953290858303152012-03-25T17:01:32.007+00:002012-03-25T17:01:32.007+00:00I thank you for reporting this event.

Sadly we were unable to attend the subsequent presentations although we have been following the developments closely through your blog and others, especially Deptford Is. If HW and the council are serious about this they have more than proof of community involvement and interest in the site. The excavations present a unique opportunity for a multi-national corporation and a renowned architect to demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility, whatever that may be!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
