A short history of SE18
People were living at Woolwich as far back as the Iron Age and an earthwork enclosure from between the 3rd and 1st century BCE lay beside the Thames. The name is generally thought to come from an Anglo-Saxon word for a place where wool was traded. A burial site of the late 7th or early 8th century was found near the river. From the 10th century to the mid-12th the abbots of St Peter's Abbey in Ghent held the area, which is why the Domesday Book does not name it. An entry of 63 acres as Hulviz is thought to describe uninhabited North Woolwich. A flood killed many people in 1236. Henry VIII founded the dockyard in 1512 and the Board of Ordnance acquired the Tower Place estate in 1671. George III named the Royal Arsenal in 1805 and the dockyard closed in 1869. Woolwich Town Hall and the Royal Artillery Barracks Main Building are both listed Grade II*.
