Deptford London Walking Tour - Salty Saucey Sailor's History Romp

  • Deptford has now become one of my favourite London walking tours! It was established as a royal naval dockyard by King Henry VIII and has seen innumerable voyages of discovery set sail over the last 350 years.
    Walk the streets with Joolz where sailors trod. Walk in the footsteps of Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I!
    See where the Jolly Roger pirate flag was born and where the ancient mariner is buried alongside Christopher Marlowe.
    Samuel Pepys being unfaithful to his wife and the Czar of Russia, Peter the Great, being wheeled around a huge garden in a wheelbarrow!
    There's also Dire Straits and Ha'penny Hatch, a beautiful piece of Victorian engineering.
    Oh, and don't forget the usual helping of Mutiny on the Bounty and Mydiddee one of the first Tahitians to visit England.
    See the old victualling yard and the naval officers' quarters.
    Deptford is a terrific place for a walking tour with a salty sailor's theme!

    That is one of my favourite pubs in London, it's called The Dog and Bell. Before covid every Wednesday evening a bunch of people would band together to play Irish traditional music just for fun, needless to say the atmosphere was greatly improved by them. I recommend this Pub to everyone, especially if you like continental craft beers as you wouldn't be able to try them all before falling into a coma and dying as the selection is quite extensive. Thanks for the great video

      Yes. Sometimes after work I used to go to the Duke in Deptford, on the corner of Gonson Street. It’s still there, but totally different from how I remember it. For a brief period, it was renamed ‘nail in the heart’ after that Jools Holland song. Same with other parts of Deptford.

      I lived there in the late 70s. It could be rough and ready, but I did like living there. Yes, it’s changed big time - you can see it on streetview. Not walked around those streets for a long time. I keep telling myself I should visit there one day. I’d probably still like it, but I can’t help feeling I’d be disappointed too.

    Another tid-bit about Albury Street... Legend has it that Lord Nelson used to meet up with his mistress, Lady Hamilton at number 34 Albury Street. Also, it’s a shame you missed the caskets stored in the entrance walls of the Crypt at St Paul’s Church. Last time I went there, you could see them clearly through a hole in the wall. They may have been moved now but it was well creepy.
    Don’t suppose you could get into St. Nicholas church, but if you had, you’d have seen the most marvellous wood carvings by Grinling Gibbons.

    Deptford Creek bridge, a listed structure, has been welded in the down position for many years. However, up to the 1960s, ship-owners could request it to be raised at times convenient to themselves i.e. when the tide was in, which was a tad inconvenient when this was during the rush hour. An Act of Parliament was needed to sort this out.

    • @livingthegoodlifechannel
      @livingthegoodlifechannel Před 3 lety

      Could I please ask a question? It is mentioned that the bridge would be raised if a tall ship needed through. However, it seems a very narrow space. Is it just the view that we are getting from the video that makes it look small or was the space for small, sailed vessels? I was thinking more of commercial sailing ships when Jules was discussing the bridge

      Deptford Creek Bridge was up a few weeks ago. It’s part of my run route in the mornings, New Cross Station to The Trafalgar pub and back. It definitely still opens and closes.

    I’ve not been to London for about 30 years, but your vids are tempting me. Brilliant channel Jools.

    I really would have loved your channel when I lived in London, as there was so much that I missed. Glad to see all your wonderful videos of my old haunts.
