Project One: Background, Task 2 Photograph 5 details

Stones of Time: the old, the new, history stacked together, being trodden on by an ever changing community.

Wood with lichen: wood for ships, trees witnessing generations of history. Fresh air - at sea and at home.

Mooring rope: a mossy green has grown through decades of tides, but the rope remains intact.

A Link in the Chain: exploring how everything is connected. The history of Greenwich bankside has been preserved although ship building and wharfs are no longer in use as originally intended. This massive anchor roots us all in history.

Nelson's Iron Braiding: something so delicate cast in a impermeable material. Linking a great man of Greenwich with the material's industrial future that Nelson would not have anticipated.
