Billingsgate Street
This road ran from Greenwich Churchyard to Billingsgate Dock on the riverside. It was cleared before 1950 and is now under Cutty Sark Gardens.
Billingsgate Dock.  There are some early medieval associations with Billingsgate in the City of London.  This was the main dock in medieval Greenwich and important to the large Greenwich fishing fleet. It is first noted in 1449.  It was enlarged in 1850. It is the traditional landing place for the Greenwich Ferry from the Isle of Dogs and it has been suggested that this was the destination of Watling Street.  Greenwich ‘peter boats’ fished in the river and larger vessels went to the North Sea.  The fleet moved to Hull and Grimsby in the 1850s when rail transport became available.

The buildings were demolished in the 17th.
Service areas for the palace.  North and west of the Friary Church was a forge and horse-mill for the Armoury. Other workshops necessary for a large court - including a book bindery, painters' studio and metal working shop - were probably also here.

This ancient road runs from Greenwich centre Up to the Roman Road and then on to Lee and Eltham. It winds up the west wall of Greenwich Park, and may be the oldest known road in London, The Celtic and Saxon origin of its name  - 'crom' and 'crum', meaning crooked. At one time the southern end was called Heathgate Lane and it has been speculated that there may have been a gate onto the Heath here.
Park Wall. The original high wall, built for James I, was taken down and replaced with railings in the 19th by local subscription.

Greenwich Theatre. This originated in a music hall which was an extension of 1855 of the Rose and Crown Pub next door. In 1871 it was renamed 'Crowder's Music Hall and Temple of Varieties' having been re-constructed by architect W.R. Hough. In 1879 it was the Royal Borough Theatre of Varieties and later the Greenwich Hippodrome.  It was reconstructed again in 1885 by architect J.G. Buckle.  It was rebuilt in 1898 and then became the Parthenon Theatre of Varieties. In 1924 it was converted into a cinema. In 1949 it was closed and a local campaign was formed resulting in its re-opening in 1969 as the Greenwich Theatre. Works were designed by architect Brian Meeking and a new main entrance in Crooks Hill was provided and the auditorium was rebuilt as a stadium plan theatre with an open thrust stage. There was also a multi-storey exhibition-space-cum-foyer with boldly exposed concrete and an art gallery upstairs. There were bricks with donors’ names on them – since painted over. Parts of the exterior walls are earlier and it is said that sometimes the inscription "Parthenon Palace of Varieties" can be seen. There have been various funding crises since and has worked with other theatres and theatre groups to remain open by Mark Cottle, a lawyer who lived in Crooms Hill in the mid 17th, as an investment

13 Hillside. The house is said to have been constructed illegally in Charles 11's reign on royal property and it is said to incorporate a late 17th cottage. It was probably begun for Sir William Hooker and occupied until 1746 by John James, architect who had a number of local projects. It was also owned by members of the Teulon family. It is a large irregular house built into hillside rising to Greenwich Park. The outside is rendered and it looks 19th – and there is a 19th wing, Converted to flats in the early 20th.

52 The Grange. The house on this site was once called "Paternoster Croft" and later "Grove House".  The house now looks 17th but probably has a much older core – 18inch timbers inside have been shown to be 12th.The house is mentioned in a schedule of Ghent Abbey in 1281, and was restored in 1268. Edmund Chapman, chief joiner to Elizabeth leased it from 1561-1568, and it was then the home of the Lanier family of musicians. In 1665 it was bought by Sir William Hooker, Sherriff and future Lord Mayor whose alterations managed to conceal its origins. However the early 18th strip drawings show a different looking house and it is now thought that it was rebuilt in 1786 reusing old timbers.
Gazebo. A summer-house built in 1672 and tall enough to see over the park wall. It was designed by Robert Hooke for Sir William Hooker. It was restored in 1967. It is brick with a pyramidal roof, and can be clearly seen on the early 18th strip drawings. There is a plaque to Hooker on the wall.

The sisters leased 70 Crooms Hill which had been a boys' orphanage and opened their school with 25 pupils. In 1886 they bought St Mary's Lodge, adjoining. Many sisters wanted to return to Germany and because French Catholic Schools were under pressure they were asked to take over the school. They bought Hyde Cliff, a mansion with a large garden. St Ursula's was recognised as a small private school in 1904 and in 1920 admitted scholarship pupils so by 1935 it was a grammar school. In the Second World War the school was evacuated to Hastings and then to Brecon. Meanwhile the Greenwich buildings were bombed and involved in a V1 attack. In 1977 the school became a comprehensive. The Sixth Form were accommodated in nearby Heathgate and Stobcross, and these houses are now used for the sisters’ accommodation.

Cutty Sark Gardens,
This landscaped area was built in 1953 to make a setting for the Cutty Sark. It has been relandscaped on a number of occasions in an attempt to make it less concrete. It covers the area of a number of demolished roads – Billingsgate Street and the area of the old Greenwich fishing fleet and associated industries.

It is thus a sailing ship built well within the age of steam ships for economic reasons. It is a composite ship of teak planking and wrought iron frames, designed for the tea, wool and opium trades. It is claimed to have been the fasted sailing ship on some routes. It was sold to a Portuguese company in 1895 as the 'Ferreira' and then bought by Captain Dowman in 1922.  It was used as a training ship at Greenhithe 1938-54 and then brought to Greenwich and put in a dry dock. A vast amount of money has been spent in making the ship viable and a tourist attraction, despite a severe fire. The lower area is now encased in glass.
Gypsy Moth. This is the boat in which Sir Francis Chichester became the first man to circumnavigate the world single-handed. Sir Francis was knighted in 1967 in the College grounds by the Queen, who used the identical sword with which the Elizabeth knighted Sir Francis Drake. The boat is now elsewhere.

Ship Dock. This was alongside the pier to the east and was the principal dock in the town.   A fish market was in this area.
Greenwich Pier. This is a busy pier handling many river boat services. It was built following an Act of Parliament by the Greenwich Pier Company in 1836. It was acquired by London County Council for their steamboat service in 1905. In 1954 the upstream end was dismantled to allow the Cutty Sark into its dock. So various parts of the pier were built at various dates. It has been rebuilt again in 2010 and has become the site of a number of lurid chain restaurants. The 19th shelter was removed and rebuilt in Barbados.

It is now a store and workshop for the National Maritime Museum.
Clark’s Buildings. This was a square of housing on the east side of the street and provided access to the Catholic Chapel in what was then Park Place. It appears to have been demolished with the building of the railway line in 1872 and may have been later replaced by the Roan School Building.

Greenwich Church Street
This was the main street of medieval Greenwich. From the Church it forks to the east leading to the river and to Garden Stairs. Many buildings are 17th and 28th with modern shop fronts. Buildings on the east side are mainly from the ‘improvement scheme’ of the 1830s by Joseph Kay for the Royal Hospital.
St.Alfege Church. The church has a medieval foundation and commemorates the martyrdom of Archbishop Alfege by the Danes in 1012. A church was probably built here soon after. The current building is 18th. The parishioners petitioned for a new church when the roof collapsed in 1710, and it was re-built with money from the Fifty New Churches Act of 1711.  It was thus the first Commissioners' Church and a Royal pew was a condition. The body of the building, by Hawksmoor, dates from 1711-14 and the plan is his. The old tower was recased and a steeple added in 1730 by John James, rebuilt in 1813. There was woodwork by Grinling Gibbons but this was destroyed in Second World War bombing.  The church was restored in 1953 by Sir Albert Richardson.

The theatre was closed and it became a backpackers hostel and for a while called Belushi’s Bar.
Greenwich Station. The original station.  The plan was to build a station by the Prince of Orange in 1838. This had wooden steps, an inclined plane, turnstiles, and ran in on arches. Charles Fox was the architect and Baker were the contractors. Inside a staircase led to waiting rooms and 20 steps through a colonnade into the main road. Downstairs was a large hall, booking offices, 2 first class waiting rooms in the south front and others at the back. There were arches for Wheatley's bus and fly service to Woolwich and Blackheath – he was thrown out when he started a bus service to London. The courtyard was fenced with stone sleepers.

George Smith’s original terminus was re-erected in 1878 closer to the road.  The station included the early use of telegraph using Railway Electric Signals Co equipment with cables laid along the viaduct in wooden troughs. In 1926 the line was electrified and in 1999 the DLR station was added

Greenwich Park
This is the oldest of London's royal parks and it is on a high escarpment overlooking Greenwich reach. The area was acquired by the Duke of Gloucester for Bella Court and enclosed by Royal licence in 1433. James I walled it and extensive tree-planting took place throughout the 1660's. Charles II had the lake built. A formal landscape was laid down in 1662 by Versailles designer Andre le Notre for Charles II. The park was opened to the public in the 18th and Greenwich fair was held around the park until the mid 19th.
Tumuli - on the hill south of the Observatory building. A group of seventeen small tumuli, all circular on plan. It has been said that they are thought to be early Bronze Age barrows re-used by the Saxons in the 6th century for burial.

He enclosed the Park in 1433 and built a tower, the site of which is now the Greenwich Observatory. He was licenced to crenallate a fortified struture here in 1433. It is thought that the area of the park was enclosed by the Duke as a fortified area surrounding a the tower, which was also called Mirefleur thus establishing a point at which the Dover Road could be defended.
Flamsteed House – The Old Royal Observatory stands on the hill at the top of the park. It was built as a navigational aid by Christopher Wren in 1676 or Charles II. – using unused bricks from Tilbury Fort and was financed by the sale of gunpowder. The first Astronomer Royal was John Flamsteed who was succeeded by Edmund Halley. Airy in the 18th established the Prime Meridian. Pollution led the Observatory to move to Herstmonceaux and the building was damaged in the Second World War. As a museum it houses Britain's largest refracting telescope and a collection of timepieces and instruments.  This is the oldest part of the Royal Observatory designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built in 1675. The buildings in the centre house the meridian instruments, notably the Airy Transit Circle which marks the Greenwich meridian. The large dome on the right contains a Grubb 28" refractor from 1894 and is the largest telescope of this type in the UK.  The tall windows of the Octagon Room allowed observations to be made with the long focus refractors and quadrants that were fashionable in the 17th century.
Flamsteed’s Well. A deep shaft was used in the later 17th for making observations. The site of this shaft was excavated in the 1960s and a circle of bricks erected to show where it was.
The Time Ball on the east turret was erected by John Pond, the 6th Astronomer Royal in 1833. It was put there so that could set their chronometers by it.  It rises at 12.58 pm and falls at 13.00 every day.  The ball still rises and drops daily at 13:00 GMT precisely.

Until 2004 it housed a small planetarium.
The Meridian Building, This is the modern name for a range of rooms and spaces on the south side of the Observatory Courtyard.

It was the birthplace of Henry VIII, who married Katherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves here. In 1516 Mary was born here, in 1533 Elizabeth, and in 1522 the Emperor Charles V was received in state. Henry established Deptford and Woolwich Dock Yards and Trinity House through his association with the area. Inigo Jones built the Queen's House for James I’s wife, Anne of Denmark in 1613. The palace was badly treated during the Commonwealth and for a time it was a biscuit factory for Scottish troops. After the Restoration Charles II decided to erect a new palace and commissioned John Webb. The old buildings were pulled down leaving only the undercroft. The foundation stone of the new building was laid in 1664 but when William and Mary succeeded they decided against living there and Mary handed over the new building to be a Naval Hospital. In 1694 Wren prepared plans – similar but not the same as Webb's.  The completion of the scheme took over fifty years. The first pensioners arrived in 1705.  In 1763 separate infirmary was added which became Dreadnought Seamen's Hospital, was added. The hospital closed in 1869, and in 1873 the Royal Naval College moved in. Since they moved out the University have moved in.
Tilt Yard. This was on the site of a 7th Anglo-Saxon cemetery. It was built 1514-18 south of the palace, the first permanent example in the country, with two towers connected by a gallery. In 1527 a banqueting house and theatre were added.  Kennels were built in 1532 and in 1533 a cockpit and a mews. In c. 1534 a real tennis court was added. In the mid 17th a laboratory was established here which worked on pyrotechnics. It eventually moved to Woolwich and the site which became the Royal Arsenal.
Armoury. This was built in 1517 to the west of the King Charles Quarter. Here foreign armourers made suits of armour using metal from the Lewisham mill.
Romney Road is the replacement main road built because the original road went right under the centre of the Queens House. It goes right through the area which was the royal palace. Basically – the area to the south of the road consists of the National Maritime Museum and Devonport House (in King William Walk). North of the road are the buildings which were the Royal Hospital, which became the Royal Naval College, and is now partly the University of Greenwich, and partly Trinity College. This area is owned by the Greenwich Foundation which refers to it as the Old Royal Naval College
South of Romney Road
The Old road from Deptford to Woolwich was diverted in the 17th and called Heathgate Street. It was probably on the line of the Tudor tiltyard. The park fence was replaced by a wall and a gateway across the road served as entrance to the park and garden. The Queen's House perpetuates old arrangement of the grounds. During the Restoration the road was put north of the Queen's House and opened in 1695/7 while the old road was blocked with gates.
Railway. The railway extension to Maze Hill Station from Greenwich built in 1878 passes under the lawn south of Romney Road.

The Royal Hospital School. In 1821 the Hospital school and the Asylum were amalgamated. The 1780s Hospital School building became the children's infirmary. In 1892 the institution was renamed the Royal Hospital School. All boys were committed to enter sea service, specifically in the Navy. By the 1880s pupils were an asset to all branches of the Navy. More than 10,000 of the boys joined 1874- 1930 and five became admirals. In 1886 the school also took over the Boreman Foundation which had begun in 17rth Greenwich for the sons of local seamen, fishermen and watermen. Crowds would watch the boys marching to service at the College Chapel on Sundays preceded by the band led by the drum major. The first of three drill or 'block' ships, all called Fame, was built in front of the Queen's House in 1843. The school left for its new home in Holbrook, Suffolk in 1933. The boys marched away to go on Easter leave and returned to the new school in April/

Queen's House.  Underneath and through the centre is the route of old main road. The house is a square two-storeyed block which originally consisted of two parallel ranges connected only by a bridge astride what was the main road. Its architectural style was revolutionary for its date. The house was completed by Henrietta Maria and ready in 1637. The main room is the hall in the centre which is a perfect cube, with a gallery around the upper floor. The main twisty staircase has a balustrade with a tulip-like top. The house was refurbished after the Restoration by John Webb, and he added two more bridges in 1662 to make it a perfect square. In 1690 it became the residence of the Ranger of Greenwich Park and in the early 18th it was used by the Governor of the Naval Hospital In 1807-16 Daniel Asher Alexander added wings, colonnades, for the Royal Naval School. The school left in 1933 and then opened to the public as part of the National Maritime Museum in 1937.
The Royal Naval Asylum. This opened in Paddington in 1798 for the orphaned children of naval seamen. In 1806 George III granted the Asylum use of the Queen's House and gardens at Greenwich and, Parliament supported expansion financially. In 1807 the colonnades and flanking wings were begun.

At the end is an altar painting by West of St Paul and the Viper and also Coade stone angels by West.  The Oak and mahogany pulpit is derived from the monument to Lysicrates: The joiners were Lawrence and Arrow.
Painted Hall. This dramatic building is divided into a vestibule, a main hall, and an upper hall, each separated by steps and by fragments of cross walls.

Originally called the Society for Distressed (Destitute) Seamen, in 1821 it became the Seamen’s Hospital Society. At first it ran a floating hospital ship anchored off Greenwich. Thousands of merchant seamen were cared for a succession of three ships. The second ship was called the Dreadnought and the name has been kept. In 1870 the Dreadnought began work in the former Greenwich Hospital Infirmary. In 1986, with changes in the NHS and the decline of the merchant fleet, the Dreadnought Hospital was closed and its work transferred to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital where seafarers continue to receive priority medical treatment. The building is now the university library
