In a change to the planned GHS Pantomime (which has been postponed and will instead be performed in January), our forthcoming meeting on Wednesday 22 November is now to be

LEST WE FORGET… THE HISTORY OF THE GREENWICH BOROUGH ARCHIVES. 

This will take place at The Trafalgar Tavern. Doors open 7pm, meeting commences 7.30. 

This lantern lecture will tell the history of the Greenwich Archives from their inception, revealing the civic pride Greenwich Council once took in the Borough’s history, through to their sadly reduced circumstances of the present day. 

THE TALK WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A GENERAL DISCUSSION, DURING WHICH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE FLOOR WILL BE WELCOMED. 

Wednesday 25 October

Helen White

Helen White, Senior Interpretation Manager at the Old Royal Naval College, will talk about their forthcoming exhibition, CHOCOLATE HOUSE GREENWICH.

Part of the Wren 300 programme marking the tercentenary of the death of Sir Christopher Wren. The exhibition focuses on Greenwich in the early 1700s, when it was a hub of cultural and scientific activity with Sir Christopher Wren’s Royal Hospital for Seamen at its heart. Just up the hill on the edge of Blackheath, THE CHOCOLATE HOUSE was a new meeting place for sophisticated society.
