The
village street in Charlton is simply called
"The Village".
Before World War II it still had a rural feel
because the major thrust of development in
Charlton was in New or Lower Charlton around
the Woolwich Road and the riverside marshes.
Even today Charlton retains some distinctive
village characteristics: the short main street,
the Church, the remnant of the village green,
and the manor House stand adjacent to one
another. |
