Hutments, Grangehill Road, Eltham

Hutments, Grangehill Road, Eltham

The hutments were removed in the 1930s.

 

Temporary hutments were built by the government on areas of Well Hall and underdeveloped parts of Eltham Park Estate during World War I.

These were to house the burgeoning population of workers employed in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, who travelled to and from their workplace on a frequent tram service.
