Happy New Year, by the way.

A rare repeat on the Daily Photo, here – a photo that was kindly contributed by local historian Dr Mary Mills and first published on Greenwich.co.uk on Christmas Eve, 2009.
Employees at the gas works in Greenwich created this mock plane for a seasonal photograph complete with Santa in the cockpit.

Thanks to photographer Warren King for these great photographs from yesterday’s Pantomime Horse Race. It was the second time the event has been held and over £2,000 was raised for Demelza Hospice Care.

A busy couple of days for the ubiquitous Robert Gray. Yesterday the Christmas tree he donated was hoisted on to one of the Cutty Sark’s masts and today sees the release of the latest edition of his YouTube chat show, Robert’s Full English Breakfast Show. Later on today, it’s Robert’s turn to take part in the annual Advent Window series, too.
I took this photo above of Robert and camera man Ian Ramsdale as they put the episode together last week.

An eagle-eyed passer-by spotted these intriguing arches yesterday, revealed by contractors who are working on the University of Greenwich development in Stockwell Street.
I understand that the University of Greenwich believes these brick built arches to be part of a former basement from the 1920s, and they say photographs have been taken which will be kept for posterity in the university archive.
I went to get some photos of my own today but unfortunately the view from the gate was obscured.
