Thamesmead history
Military use
Most of the land area of Thamesmead previously formed about 1,000 acres (4.0 km) of the old Royal Arsenal site that extended over Plumstead Marshes and Erith Marshes . There is some evidence of prehistoric human occupation of the area .
Original concept
Thamesmead as it is now was built at the end of the 1960s . Efforts were made to solve social problems that had already started to affect earlier estates . These were believed to be the result of people being uprooted from close-knit working-class communities .
Problems of the original design
Thamesmead was not included in early proposals for the Jubilee Line Extension . The main reason cited for this decision was that many workers in Canary Wharf lived in Essex and could change from National Rail to Jubilee line .
21st century
In 2000, TTL was wound down and two new organisations formed . Gallions Housing Association took over the ownership and management of the housing assets . Tilfen is jointly owned by Gallions and Trust Thamesmead .
