Summary
[edit]DescriptionAnchor at Greenwich - geograph.org.uk - 1469997.jpg |
English: Anchor at Greenwich Situated very close to the Cutty Sark Tavern, the anchor is titled "Anchor Iron Wharf", and has the following inscription (for which I am grateful to The Greenwich Phantom):
"In 964 King Edgar granted this land to the abbey of St Peters in Ghent, Flanders. Henry V re-possessed it in 1414. After the English Civil War Charles II granted the land to Sir William Boreman in 1676. He was clerk to the board of Green Cloth and involved with the design of Greenwich Park. He also founded Green Coat School. In 1695 his widow sold the estate of Old Court Manor to Sir John Morden. He had already built Morden College in 1695 to accommodate merchants who had lost their estates by accidents and perils of the seas. In 1705 Sir Ambrose Crowley, an iron-maker, moved to a riverside mansion which he renamed Crowley House and built Crowley's Wharf. In 1953 Charles Robinson moved his premises to what became Anchor Iron and Crowley's Wharf. The principal cargoes were scrap iron, lead ingots, metal and glass." |
