Deptford Decades: Residents of Deptford tell their stories

Remembering Deptford
Deptford Decades is an oral history project, run in 2013, exploring what it was like to live in Deptford in the 1940s and 1950s using resources from local churches, Lewisham Archives and the lived experience of a group of older people from the area. The project was run by the Bear Church and was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Pupils from Tidemill Academy and Deptford Green school were invited to take part to interview and record the memories of the older people and learn about life when they were growing up.
Project Director Katharine Alston
Film Maker John Ford

Great insight into life back then. I didn't know about the school being attacked.

Great Post. Just to say the ending really shocked me, because only recently I was wondering why I had not seen Alan Pautard a person whom I had met and knew for about 20 years from my Station Master roll on BR. RIP Alan Pautard a wonderful man who gave much to our community.
