Henry was given the Freedom of the City of London on the 3rd of December 1846. He was the licensee of the 'The Dolphin' public house in Coleman Street, City of London, at that time, giving it up to his mother-in-law Maria Dunlap in February 1848.

Was there when it got closed down and had to move schools. DAP was THE go-to place for kids. Like some oversized, multi-level, kaleidoscopic, Mad-Max set. Never knew who was behind it but very glad to see it's still there 30+ years later and Mac's legacy lives on.

Most of my research re your gg-grandfather was re his political career after Deptford.

Currently, New Charlton is a massive industrial estate which cannot be used for leisure (except for the Hope and Anchor Pub). Have a walk around and see how some of the facilities are derelict and obsolete. In one word the area is depressing. <br /><Spoon Taneoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112082950961280605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822491436217658433.post-32836696368887187032014-02-17T23:47:03.612+00:002014-02-17T23:47:03.612+00:00Is being so close to the substation dangerous?Is being so close to the substation dangerous?Tedsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678084803826999720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822491436217658433.post-34923443714568525112014-02-14T14:42:50.993+00:002014-02-14T14:42:50.993+00:00A sad loss to Deptford and all of us who care for ...A sad loss to Deptford and all of us who care for the place.
