Deptford Creek, SE8, SE10 TQ 3770 7730 MoLAS (B Sloane) Archaeological Foreshore Survey May 1997 London Borough of Lewisham FLS02
A survey of the drift geology and archaeology, a photographic record of the principal riverine structures of late 19th-c or earlier date and a record of the physical attributes of the creek bed and associated structures was undertaken. Amongst the latter were: stretches of timber river walls, constructed in the mid-19th c, timber revetments, a masonry riverbed lining of c.1838, a dock or inlet of 1876-94, barge-bed revetments, masonry and timber splash aprons for sewage pumping station outfall pipe of 1868, a masonry and timber drain of c. 1868, Halfpenny Hatch rail bridge of 1870 and a line of timber uprights which may be remnants of the river wall line predating the 18th c.
