      Citing Local Bloggers

      Is that ok? As far as I know the blog I've cited is a genuine local commentator. I will try and find more such opinion and remove my edit for now, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.35.91.110 (talk) 12:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

      Trams

      Re the text

      Woolwich was the start of the route of the last London tram, in July 1952 (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/july/6/newsid_2963000/2963092.stm). However this is in dispute as the greenwich guide states. certainly there were no tram lines to be seen in abbey wood by 54 whilst there were in woolwich, The Woolwich area trams were the last to be scrapped, being finally abandoned on the night of 5 July when a special tram was driven through enormous crowds from Abbey Wood to New Cross, finally arriving at its destination in the early hours of 6 July.[1]

      I think the confusion arises because, according to my research, tram route 46 ran from Beresford Square in Woolwich towards Lewisham and beyond, but trams were housed in a depot in Abbey Wood. Accordingly, the tram may have started from Abbey Wood but would only have taken on passengers once it reached Woolwich. Paul W 13:53, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

      No mention of riots?

      I don't have time atm to edit the article, but I was very surprised to find no mention of the rioting/looting/arson in the article. References are on the main riots article iirc. Thryduulf (talk) 09:05, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

      • I've put in a short bit about the riots today, and also added a little bit to the main Riots page. I will add more photos etc. once I get home from work this evening. I am sorely disappointed there was no mention of Woolwich prior to this! Jinnythesquinny (talk) 13:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
