This scene of the Royal Military Academy (Building 40) was painted by Paul Sandby, the father of the English watercolour around 1785-1795. It still shows the old tower from the previous building which is no longer there. Both buildings and the artist feature in the upcoming Royal Arsenal Tours.

We are so excited that tours of the Royal Arsenal will be coming back after the 12th April when outdoor activities are allowed. Numbers of tickets available will be limited to 10 people per tour (normally 30) to allow for social distance so it is likely they will sell out. Tickets go on sale Sunday 28th February in the evening. If the Government Roadmap is delayed don't worry, you can have either a full refund or exchange for a future date, your choice. Don't know about everyone else, but we are counting the days until we can safely get out and do things again.
We will meet again and tours will start again, one day.

On today's tour the great great granddaughter of one of the ladies pictured here came along and we were able to tell the family:
They are Canaries they are in the Quick Fire Cartridge Factory no4. BL section which means they are loading canvas cartridge bags for big guns above 6inch. Canvas cartridge bags were used up to 16 inch guns. QF means breach loading. Anything called a pounder ie 18 pdr, 13 pdr had a brass qf cartridge case. Only yhe 4.5inch howitzer, in inches had a brass case.
The cartridge filling places were in Thamesmead so if it went bang it wasn't the end of Woolwich.
The cordite, string dipped in nitroglycerene, was made at Waltham Abbey then shipped down by canal.
The triangular badge in the picture is a cardboard representation of the lapel badge the ladies wore to show they were on war work. The men wore the same so they didn't get white feathers from ladies as they were not in uniform.

With 13 days to go and just 3 tickets left.

Today the Crossness Pumping Station was operating the steam engine so we paid it a visit. They were also displaying The Woolwich, a steam train that operated at Royal Arsenal and is being refurbished. Well worth a visit. Check out their website for tour and steam days.
