Arsenal Clock Common Links Newly Opened Operative Plumstead Space Today
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1905, showcases Plumstead Common Road in England, with a particular focus on the newly opened "Links" branch of the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society. The Co-op, an Edwardian-era institution, is located on the right-hand side of the road, and is identified by the distinctive clock tower that adorns its facade. The Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society was established in 1875 to provide essential goods and services to the workers of the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich. This branch, opened in 1904, was a testament to the growing influence and reach of the Co-op, which continues to operate today as a thriving community institution. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history of Plumstead Common Road, a bustling thoroughfare that connects Woolwich and Plumstead. The road is lined with trees, suggesting that the area was already green and open even in this era. In the background, Plumstead Common, a large urban park, can be seen, providing a much-needed respite for the residents of the densely populated area. The photograph also showcases the architectural beauty of the Edwardian era, with the intricate details of the clock tower and the well-designed buildings lining the road. The Links branch of the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society was not only a place for shopping but also a community hub, where people could come together and connect. The photograph captures a moment in time, frozen in history, that reminds us of the importance of community and the role that local institutions play in shaping the fabric of our society.
