Greenwich Square under construction (2)
Since my previous photo three months earlier of this large construction site
Image the development had changed its name from "heart of East Greenwich" (geographically accurate) to Greenwich Square" (probably meant to be more aspirational, sounding as if it is in the town centre, not a mile away).

Thames Workers mural in Glenister Gardens
A mural with scenes from life along the river - boats and people. The medium is natural stones and various forms of ceramics and terracotta set into concrete panels. The artist was Philippa Threlfall and she originally made it in 1974 for the nearby Greenwich District Hospital. After the hospital closed, it was relocated in 2007 to its present site at the west end of Glenister Gardens.
