North Woolwich 1882


North Woolwich is a portion of Woolwich parish, and part of the county of Kent, but on the north bank of the Thames and surrounded by and locally in the county of Essex, in the Eastern Metropolitan postal district, union and county district of Woolwich, rural deanery of Barking, archdeaconry of Essex and diocese of St Albans and within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court and metropolitan police. Here is a terminus of a branch line of the Great Eastern Railway. Steamboats ply between North Woolwich and Woolwich (Kent) every few minutes in connection with the railway. This place was formerly included in the ecclesiastical parish of St Mark, Victoria Docks, from which it was separated in February, 1877, and formed into a separate ecclesiastical parish. The church of St John the Evangelist was erected in 1872, at a cost of about £8,000, which was raised by voluntary contributions and is a brick and stone building, consisting of chancel and nave and turret containing one bell, and has sittings for 800 persons. The living is a vicarage, yearly value about £180, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of St Albans, and held by the Rev Charles Bull MA, Cantaur. There is a Primitive Methodist chapel. There is a metropolitan police (inspector’s) station of the K division.The principal landowners are George Reid and J F French esqs, the North Woolwich Land Company, W F Henley esq, the War Office, London and St Katharine’s Dock Company, and The Gas Light and Coke Company, whose works at Beckton, covering an area of 40 acres, are partly in North Woolwich and partly in Barking. The area of this portion of the parish is about 400 acres, or one-third of the whole parish of Woolwich. The population in 1871 was 1,455; and in 1881, including vessels in harbour, 3,678.
