At the mouth of the Creek an additional storyboard could be located on the railings next to the Creekside pavement adjacent to the Waitrose store. The land is owned by the Local Authority. The location gives good views up the Creek andbeyond Creek Bridge. It would provide a good introduction to the Heritage Trail for those starting south along it from the Creek’s east bank.

The proposed site was the former Phoenix Gas works which were influential in the development of the Creek’s chemical industries. It is also adjacent to former coal and timber wharfs and numerous marine engineering works.

This location with its view of the road bridge near the mouth of Depford Creek, would be particularly suitable to tell the story of barge transport which was essential to life on the Creek; from flour milling to providing coal for Bazalgette’s sewer pumps to Bennett Lawes’ fertilizer works and Frank Hills’ chemical factory.

The panel location would ideally be on the little piece of land down from the Creek Road bridge in front of Greenwich Reach and between Norway Street / Dowells Street. It offers the chance to discuss the history of the Creek's various bridges. It is also a perfect spot for looking at the mouth of the Creek.

It was used by early photographers capturing steam ships being refitted nearby by the General Steam Navigation Company. It was also the site of a coal wharf, and one of the Creek's many pioneering 19th century iron works along Norway Street.

The panel could be located on the railings next to the footpath. The location adjoins the Thames Path and the Waterlink Way and gives views of the mouth of the Thames. This was the site of the General Steam Navigation Company Works, established in 1825, which pioneered the use of steam to provide London with passenger and freight services by sea. It was the first of many innovative marine engineering works that sprung up in the 19th century along Deptford Creek. The site faces the 1825 Phoenix Gas Company works on the east side of the Creek, and to the west, adjoins the site of the worlds first central power station, Deptford Power Station built later by Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti in 1889.

The panel could be located on the railings facing east across the Creek on land which is privately owned that already provides public access to a generous Creekside walkway.

The location gives good views across the Creek to one of Phoenix Gas Company sites whose by-products helped a series of entrepreneurs start up a variety of chemical works along the Creek later in the 19th century. It is also close to Copperas Street which was named after the 17th and 18th- century chemical works found there.

The world’s first super phosphate factory was established next door to Union Wharf in 1845.

It would be part of phase 2 panel and would to underline the importance of barge access to Creekside industries and services. It would also draw attention to the environmental diversity of the 21st-century Creek, and to the Creek edge planting on Union Wharf which has been established by the Creekside Discovery Centre.

The panel could be located on the railings facing towards the Creek as part of the existing Trinity Laban outdoor seating area.

The board would focus on the Laban Centre story, but the location also gives excellent views of both banks of the Middle Creek.

This panel would enable further interpretation of chemical production in this part of the Creek, off Copperas Street. The story starts with the ancient Copperas works of the 17th Century. The arrival of pioneering gas works elsewhere in the Creek early in the nineteenth century, triggered various local chemical works using coking gas by products. Including the opening of John Bennet Lawes' world first super phosphate factory next door to this site in 1845.

By the end of the 20th century, the decline in industrial activity along the Creek meant the Laban Centre site was being used by Lewisham Council to remove rubbish by barge, and the board would touch on this low point in the Creek’s fortunes, before the Laban Centre led the way in the regeneration of the Creek neighbourhood.

Consultation is to be carried out with Trinity Laban.

The panel location is to be determined through consultation with current owners. A board located beside the Creek on Hilton Wharf would provide views of the widest section of the Creek, as well as across the Creek towards the site of the world’s first super phosphate factory. John Bennet Lawes opened his pioneering works on the west bank of the Creek off Copperas Street in 1845.

It would also provide an excellent view of the international award winning Trinity Laban Centre built in 2001 by architects Herzog and de Meuron, built on the site of the former Wheen's soap works, and once a waste extraction site.

On the east side of the Creek was the site of the Rennie Brothers Works, one of the many marine engineering companies active along the Creek from the 1840s.

They were involved in the rapid evolution of marine innovations including replacing paddle propulsion with propellers and using iron construction rather than wood.

A panel could be located on the soft verge next to the Maritime Greenwich footpath facing the Creek and the site known as Hope Wharf opposite. This is the southern gateway site for the Heritage Trail. The land is owned by Maritime Greenwich and is currently accessible off Greenwich High Road. The listed Mumford’s Flour Mill, the last surviving structure from seven hundred years of milling on this part of the Creek, is seen prominently from this location.

The panel would also describe the former site of the old medieval Tide Mills, Robinsons Mill, and the former Merryweather’s Fire Engine site, and describe the role of barges in supplying the mills.

It is part of the phase 1 of the project to deliver the first 4 panels.

The panel would ideally be on the Faircharm estate adjacent to the Creekside Centre and on the opposite side of the Creek to the Ha'Penny panel. Users would have stunning views of the Coal sheds, Mumford Mill and the Railway.

It would also introduce the adjacent Creekside Discovery Centre, and the nearby branch of the Creek, the Theatre Arm. Among other 19th century enterprises, the Theatre Arm was the site of a wharf owned and used by the famous Greenwich-based marine engineering company, John Penn.

It is part of the phase 1 of the project to deliver the first 4 panels.

The panel will be located on the perimeter of the Thames Water site by the main GREPS site entrance on Greenwich High Road.

The sign will describe structures within the site that can not be seen from the road such as the Grade II listed Pumping Station and Coal Sheds. It will also introduce the Creeklink's Creekside information panels.

This panel will also tell the story of Ferranti’s ground breaking London Electricity Supply Company, which switched on the world’s first modern power station in 1891, and with it, via the LESC substation still visible near the GREPS entrance, the electric street lights along Greenwich High Road.

The location will need to be agreed and coordinated with Thames Water’s future plans for signage and interpretation for this site.

It is part of the phase 1 of the project to deliver the first 4 panels.

The proposed panel is on the east side of Ha’Penny Hatch footbridge, on the new C10 combined foot and cycle path.

The location is next to the Greenwich Pumping Station site, owned and operated by Thames Water.

Planning permission for the panel was applied for at the end of 2024 with a decision expected in Feb/Mar 2025.

It is part of the phase 1 of the project to deliver the first 4 panels.

The panel is sited on Thames Water property and has been funded by Thames Tideway Tunnel, TTT - who in 2025 completed the Greenwich Connection Tunnel which links the Pumping Station with TTT's new Super Sewer.

The ambition of the Charity is to install a series of ten permanent storyboard panels at busy points of interest along a walk-able route around the Creek. Sites are being carefully considered and will complement existing trails and walking routes such as the Thames Path, Waterlink Way and Deptford Heritage Trail. The Boards will provide information about the Creek’s development over time. This will include local stories, notable people and buildings. Each panel will highlight the Creek’s past and present natural history. They will also describe the extent of the Creek, orientate the viewer within it and help create the sense of a linked neighbourhood.

The CreekLink Charity envisage realising the project in stages as funding becomes available and planning permissions secured.
