Much later in life when researching her family tree she discovered that her grandmother had lived in Woolwich as a teenager and young woman and that Woolwich was home and workplace to many family members.In the 1970s Carol and her husband Stephen Lobb set up Greenwich Mural Workshop with a large studio / workshop in MacBean Centre in the back workshops of the Electric Company – JD Sports.The workshop produced mural, mosaics, posters and banners with local community groups and organisations and became involved in the various redevelopments of Woolwich and its riverside.CK will highlight some of the spaces in Woolwich from her personal viewpoint - childhood trips on Woolwich Ferry.
