Mumford's Mill, Greenwich
The inscription on the top of the building reads "1790 Mumford's Greenwich Flour Mill" although from various internet references, this building was erected in 1848. Maybe there was an earlier building on the site from 1790?
It was at one time apparently "one of London’s most important flour mills", served by boats sailing up Deptford Creek. The mill was closed in the 1960s.
A detailed history is apparently given in "Remnants of a Revolution: Mumford's Flour Mill, Greenwich", Jonathan Clarke, AIA Industrial Archaeology Review, Volume XXIV 2002.

Closed car wash, Greenwich High Road
This former car wash is one of several properties that was vacant and boarded up in 2009, possibly bought by a developer and awaiting better times for building. The solitary cyclist has no need of such facilities anyway!

Derelict properties on Greenwich High Road
Given the rapid 'gentrification' of this area it can only be a matter of a few years before this site is occupied by yet another block of 'exclusive' apartments.

Run-down properties in Greenwich High Road
The ground floor of the building on the corner in this photo is a hair salon, but the two adjacent shops have closed down and at least two of the flats above appeared to be "to let". It may not be long before this block faces the fate of other nearby properties and is demolished to make way for medium- or high-rise apartments.

Demolition site, near Deptford Bridge
A small number of houses and shops have been demolished here, which appear to the left of Stacey Harris's 2010 photo Image I don't yet know what is planned to be built in their place.
