Greenhithe Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Greenhithe

Greenhithe history

---

The social history of Greenhithe is bound up in terms of its rectory revenues and manors until the 20th century. It owes a great deal to its situation by the river Thames and expansion to the nearby Watling Street (the London-Dover Road) and it being a suitable landing place for ships.

Naval training and ship maintenance

HMS Worcester was allocated to the Thames Nautical Training College in 1862. The 1473-ton, 50-gun Worcester was used as a training base by the Royal Navy. It was moved to Greenhithe, where successive ships remained until the 1970s. The last Worcester was broken up a few years later.
