units appeared in Canning Town followed by Scrapbook Point and Dunlop Point in Silver town (1967) and others which took their names from firms that had been in the areas where they now stood, such as Albion and Brocklebank tower blocks in North Woolwich.

encounter with Woolwich occurred whilst walking the Thames Path when my eye was drawn to some contrasting scenes that visually drew my attention. In his work on the visual quality of cities, Lynch (1960) asserts that ‘legibility is crucial in the city setting’ (1960, p.3) and then provides a definition of ‘imageability: that quality in a physical object which gives it a high probability of evoking a strong image in any given observer’ (ibid p.9).

conscious and unconscious constructions of the histories of the place (Massey 1995, p. 187). The mention of Belmarsh prison may be considered as a psychogeographical trauma. The prison was built on a part of the East site of the former Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, and became operational on 2 April 1991.

The clergyman at my left was an old acquaintance of mine—clergyman now, but had spent the first half of his life in the camp and field, and as an instructor in the military school at Woolwich. Just at the moment I have been talking about, a veiled and singular light glimmered in his eyes, and he leaned down and muttered confidentially to me—indicating the hero of the banquet with a gesture: "Privately—he's an absolute fool."
Shakespeare’s The Tempest discloses on various acts of slavery and servitude that is still brought out in our current generation.

The play and real-life situation both reveal acts of slavery, the greed for freedom and dominance. Many people take slavery very lightly, but they do not know that true meaning that people go through from being controlled as

Every day we are bombarded with images of demolition and terrorism carried out in the name of religion. Who is to blame? Ask the media, they will point only to Muslims, for example, ‘The Sun’ headline states ‘Woolwich terror suspect revealed as Muslim convert known to MI5’. Not anymore! We have to stop this injustice and inhumane ways right now!

On May the 7th 1915 the Lusitania sank, taking with it the lives of one thousand, two hundred and one people including ninety-one children and thirty-one infants. Despite the fact that it was the largest and fastest ship at that time, the German torpedo still found its mark off the South Coast of Ireland while the ship was travelling between the United States and England.

Another example of this is the Guildford Four, who were accused of bombings in Guilford and Woolwich in 1974. They were given life sentences due to the police using inappropriate ways of trying to get confessions out of them in order to prove them guilty; they were released in 1989 (Joyce, 2006). These miscarriages of justice prove that adversarial
