| The Landing Stage Below are some photos of the derelict and run down existing landing stage that still remains on the riverside between Greenwich and Deptford today. |
 |
| The old landing stage no longer looks very stable or able to hold any weight. |
 |
| Parts of it are falling away into the River |
 |
| This is the view from the street- very unappealing to look at. |
 |
| No public access is permitted. |
 |
| No longer accessible to people. Not a pleasant view in the landscape. |
 |
| A cage underneath the landing stage looking out of place. |
 |
The riverbank surrounding the Landing stage covered with dirt and rubbish.
|
 | |
Neat, clean and structured paving found within the new developments in front of Borthwick Wharf.
|
 |
| Organised decking laid in front of the new developments, providing a space to overlook the Thames. |
 |
| There is a vast mix match of pebbles & stones along Watergate Street, showing the contrast between the old and the new. it also shows the age of the road. |
 |
| Old pebbled street |
 |
| Payne's Wharf |
 |
| The huge arches here are a particular feature. |
 |
| The water plants break up the view of the River |
 |
| Personally I like the design of this small pond, as I feel it looks like an infinity pool if you stand back. |
 |
| There is an evident contrast between the land and the beach and the difference in maintenance and materials. |
 |
| Separates the rich from the poor. The connection is lost between the two communities. |

 |
| Benches are bolted down.. |
 |
| The current shelter in the centre of Twinkle Park. Personally I don't think it blends in well with the area, however it does provide a fence between the park and school. |
 |
| Small element of the sites historic background, represented through this single play element. |
 |
| Contrasting benches appear throughout the site |
 |
| A rather run down looking bench sits in Benbow street for residents to use.. |
 |
| Natural seating around the tree works quite effectively. |
 |
| Stone Seating, very cold to seat on in the Winter. |

| Benbow Street |
 |
| Areas of green are fenced off, preventing children playing on them. |
 |
| Community allotments |
 |
| Signs that residents have made an effort, but much of the community space has been left derelict. |
