1) apartment block fire Over 3 hours since I saw it ignite and called the fire brigade. Parts of the walls now completely destroyed. Multiple flats on fire. probably near 100 firefighters here. #deptford #greenwich @LondonFire
2) I live opposite in Greenwich Creekside. We have flammable cladding and our flats are worthless and unsellable because Adriatic Land (the OWNERS of freehold) won’t pay. Which is why I am posting evidence of this fire, I wouldn’t normally film an event like this. 
3) #londonfirebrigade now cutting the edging off the building which seemed to be furnacing the heat earlier (I believe it is metal). Two cherrypickers with multiple fighters using oxygen. 3 hours and 20 mins in now.
Hi Everyone, @josh_frost89 here for today’s ##LowTideLockdown exploring the rich and complex maritime history of #Deptford. We’ll be taking a virtual walk along the foreshore from Watergate Street up to St George’s Stairs.
Deptford’s maritime and shipbuilding history goes back to the formation by Henry VIII of a dockyard here is 1513, a year after the one at Woolwich. The dockyard was built in the area around Deptford Strand and can be seen in this map owned John Evelyn from 1623 #LockdownLowTide
Our walk begins at Watergate Street stairs, with the wall of the Dockyard on one side and the Master Shipwright’s House beyond. Amongst the many shipwrights who worked here were the Pett family. Four of them were Master Shipwrights between 1550 and 1668.
I have just (22.05 - 22.15) been on the receiving end of some vile anti-semitic abuse on Deptford High Street, whilst speaking with a parishioner quite near to my church, S. Paul's Church #Deptford.

A middle aged man cycled by, shouted abuse at me, 'Look at that Jew ... mother*****r', and something else indeterminate. He obviously thought I was an Orthodox Jew, and/or a Rabbi.
Then a few minutes later he came back, in the company of two other men, and I thought they were going to attack me. I challenged his antisemitism, loudly, the street was full of people, but noone stopped to ask if I needed any help, whilst he continued to say, 'Jew F**k Off'.
