Deptford round-up

• The Margaret McMillan park has reopened! It's definitely an improvement. I was left asking the same question as Deptford Dame, though - what are those wooden posts for?

• The number of pubs on Deptford High Street has just halved, to one.
  

• Did you know that the King's Jockey in the late 1930s was a Deptford boy? Neither did I until I read this post on Deptford Misc.

• This Wednesday 19 May, Urban Screen is showing the film SUS at the Albany, followed by a panel discussion with lead actor Clint Dyer, screenwriter Barrie Keefe and local councillor Duwayne Brookes. SUS, centring on a police interrogation on election night 1979, looks at institutional racism; more information here.
