A few years ago, the former Simpson Street Secondary School in Deptford, Sunderland, was looking to be in a sorry state.
The Victorian school originally opened in 1867 as 'Deptford Yard Church of England School' with numerous changes down the years before it finally closed in July, 1961.
It became home to a group of artists in recent years before eventually being vacated and standing derelict.
After a serious fire broke out, it looked like its fate had been sealed
Against all the odds, the Grade II Listed property was restored into a mixture of office space and apartments – an example of 19th century school architecture preserved.
The business currently occupying the office space has successfully expanded during their time in the building and are set to relocate to larger premises with plans to create further high-end apartments in the historic building.

Land of a thousand cockroaches : 1986-1987 : Deptford Housing Co-operative, London

“Gimme your money!” he shouted, pointing a pistol at me. He had jumped out from behind some bushes. It was a dark winter evening. I was alone. Nobody was about. I was ten metres from the entrance to New Cross railway station, about to return home, having walked my girlfriend to her train after an evening together... [continues]

Tree planted around 1700.

Stone text says it was planted by Tsar Nicholas who famously stayed in Deptford and trashed his house and weed on the mattresses.
More likely it was planted by John Evelyn #silentSunday #loveTrees #VeteranTrees (taken today) Mulberry tree in the heart of #Deptford

Just tried to travel from #CanadaWater to #Deptford by bus; I quit the bus and walked it. The new cycle lane does not serve the many, just the few.

Are you in #London? Do you know where #Deptford is? Do you like #Dance? Then come and see one of the last two performances of ONCE UP ON A CUBE outside the Laban Building, Creekside SE8 Saturday and Sunday at 3pm! I’m really proud of what we’ve made with this show. (NB weather forecast is a lot better for tomorrow than Sunday, just saying.)

Lewisham is a Farage-free zone.

The #foxes of Pepys Park aren't nearly as stealthy as they think they are - but they're a very perceptive lot!

Also #Deptford High Street got named one of the UK's best high streets a year or so back. I think the quantity of friendly cats must have something to do with that 😻

For today's #BooksAndCoffee, I'm reading The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson and I'm drinking espresso from Manifesto Coffee.

I'm so excited about this book because – dun dun dun – it's set in my neighbourhood, which is also where my next novel, A Bit of Murder Between Friends, is set.

What do you think? Would DI Anjelica Henley cotton on to my ladies?

Can anyone tell me where Pound Lane was in #Deptford (or #Charlton) ca. 1795? I have several baptismal records related to the family of a Deptford shipwright that give the address "behind Pound Lane" but I cannot find it on any map I've been able to locate. #geneadons #histodons

Here, for the sake of nothing in particular, are two more snaps from #TodaysWalk to #Deptford

The first shows the half-acre (0.23ha) expanse of Ferranti Park, presumably created by a developer trying to tick a box, and named after a person who, in 1887, designed a power station nearby that now isn't there.

The second shows the map of the park that the Borough of Lewisham has planted in a shrubbery round one of the available corners.

The #stories we tell over here may not be as grand (nor as tall!) as the ones they tell in those towers. But there's richness to them that can't be measured in 'bonuses'
