Woolwich: Duke of Wellington Avenue
Duke of Wellington Avenue is one of the main east-west thoroughfares on the former Royal Arsenal site, which is currently being refurbished as a residential development. The Royal Arsenal Property's website is here http://www.royalarsenalproperty.com/home.htm
The 1870 Ordnance Survey map shows the whole Royal Arsenal site as a blank area devoid of any detail, reflecting the secret nature of the munitions fabrication work going on at the time.
