Geographic notes and Social context: In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Deptford like this:
Deptford.-- parl. bor., consisting of the par. of Deptford St Paul, Kent and Surrey, on Ravensbourne rivulet and river Thames, 1575 ac., pop. 76,752. Deptford has engineering works, some mfrs. of earthenware, soap, and chemicals, and, in the neighbourhood, excellent market gardens.
The old naval dockyard was discontinued in 1869, it was converted into a foreign cattle-market. The royal victualling-yard, the most important in the kingdom, is still maintained. The corporation of Trinity House have at D. an hospital for master mariners.[2]
In 1730, Dept-ford was divided into two parishes, distinguished by the names of St. Nicholas, and St. Paul. The Parish of St. Nicholas, which includes the old town, lies mainly along the river Thames, and the combined parishes have now a population of about 60,000 souls.
According to the author of "Le Guide de Etranger à Londres," published in 1827, which draws attention to its Royal Marine Arsenal, where cables, masts, anchors, &c., are manufactured,. He mentions also the Red House to the north of Deptford, the "grand depôt of provisions for the fleet," burnt down in 1639, and again in 1761. The town at that time numbered 17,000 inhabitants.
There were for many centuries, corn and other mills situated on the Ravensbourne in its picturesque windings through Deptford and Brockley,
The dockyard was closed in 1869. Shortly afterwards the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, 1869, required a place for the sale and slaughter of foreign animals. The Corporation of the City of London purchased the greater part of the old dockyard for the site of the new market. In December, 1871, it was opened under the title of the Foreign Cattle Market. It survived until 1913 This enterprise provided employment for many in Deptford both men and women, mostly on a casual basis.[3]<br/
