Title
Chapel and shop in Woolwich High Street
Description
Front elevations of the Enon Baptist Chapel in Woolwich High Street. The chapel dates from the late 1750s although the date under the portico states 1761; apparently it was rebuilt around 1775 and survived until demolition in 1964 to make way for the new Woolwich Ferry approach. Its location would have been just on the eastern edge of the present-day large roundabout at the junction of Woolwich High Street and John Wilson Street. The chapel was set just back from the High Street and a number of headstones are visible against the wall of the forecourt area. The shop next door at 11 Woolwich High Street has already been boarded up in anticipation of its demolition to make way for the widening of Woolwich High Street in 1913. Posters advertising twice nightly dramas at the Theatre Royal, Woolwich, later the Woolwich Empire, which was in nearby Beresford Street, can be seen on the door.
