Listed buildings in Woolwich and Plumstead
This is my project for 2016 . Dont expect to see too much here for a while. There are three grades of listed building, Grade 1 is the most important and as far as I know we only have one of these in Woolwich . The Royal brass foundry in the Arsenal, built around 1716 . Grade II* is next and we have about a dozen of these ..
I will concentrate on those for the time being
