Farewell James Newman, John Burns and Ernest Bevin

...Woolwich

...Thanks for the many times in the 1960s you ferried me and many other children unaccompanied by any adult back and forth across the Thames. You gave us an innocent pastime and thrill that today's anxious, controlling and overprotective parents deny their cosseted offspring. 

...'The Woolwich Ferry service will have to close from 6 October until late December 2018 while we make improvements on the piers. Two new boats will replace the current fleet.'

...Hello Vera Lynn and Ben Woollacott
