Deptford Deptford address from 1891  

My GGM was born in Deptford in 1891 and her baptism record says: Baptism, 4th Oct 1891, at St John Deptford: Address: 18 Moses Buildings.

I've searched for any historical records for Moses Buildings, but cannot find any. Can someone please tell me where in Deptford this was and what it may have been like at the time?

Around 1997 my GGM and her family left Deptford and moved to Brighton where they remained.

I'll be grateful for any help, Isabella  Mail-me

Deptford Ann (Mary Maud) Bird / Botten  

I'm trying to track my great-aunt and any descendents. Ann was born in Deptford in 1893. When her parents, Olive and Thomas died, she lived with her older sister Olive Botten and Olive's family. She was possibly brought up as a Botten. They lived around Baildon St. Would love to hear from anyone researching the Deptford Bird families.

Deptford Greek Family- fish and chip shop Deptford London  

I would really love to know if anyone remembers a fish and chip shop run by a Greek Family in the late 60's early 70's ; It was on a side street off Woodpecker Road ; going towards Deptford. They were such a lovely family; the daughter's name was Joanne and she had a brother called Michael, a younger brother and a ever smiling uncle, who was always seen in the backyard in his wellington boots cleaning the fish ! My mum Tina,used to help them out on a Friday ; My father had a shoeshop on Woodpecker Road . I was 10 at the time ( a Twin ) and loved my childhood in Deptford. If anyone has any news , please contact . Thanks ! Angie Charalambous

Deptford DEPTFORD PURDIES/ LESLEYSHOWELLS@YAHOO.COM  

Deptford PURDIE/PURDY
My father Walter Purdie was born at 47 Deptford High St which is still a wet fish shop although I believe at one time it was also fried fish. His father was John Purdie who was born in Norfolk. Other Purdies had fishshop in Wellington St which was demolished for new build and all that remains of it is now called McMillan street. Alec and Biddy ran the fish shop (Codmaster?) until about 2000. Alec was gay and came out when it was illegal to do so and even sometimes dressed in womens clothes I'm told. Purdies also had shops in Woolwich Market. Actually I dont know much in depth so any help appreciated. Love to know more about "Charlie the Tramp" & anyone who knew a Donald Purdie son of Maria nee Manchester who had a stall in Woolwich. Lesley Howells nee Purdie. Thanks

Deptford Such happy memories  

I remember Charlie although a bit scary my dad said he was harmless. Deptford was full of life in the fifties. We all went to St josephs School and church in the high street Father Frost was a great friend of the stall holders in the market. We used to have a prosession all around the Deptford Streets once a year in June. Anyone remember Johnsons Bakery such mouthwatering bread and cakes. Any one remember Pat and Brian Donnelly. I had my first crush on a boy i met in Deptford park Is the Kentish Mercury still going strong. I now live in NZ but still miss those days and the poor but warm and friendly people.  Mail-me

Deptford Saunders Greenwich Park School  

I am not sure if I am in the right place to be asking this question. My mother, Irene Saunders, was born in 1916 in Rectory Buildings Crossfield Street where others of her extended family also lived.
I have battered and bomb-torn documents showing that she attended Greenwich Park Central School, King George Street. I have no real idea of Deptford/Greenwich geography and so much has changed anyway.
Can anyone tell me if the school still exists, or what happened to it - pulled down? - and if anyone has old photos (or even new) I would be in heaven.
