Story: As of the time of uploading this picture, the history behind it was not very clear to me. However it should be noted that Deptford achieved fame in 1800s as a shipbuilding dock as well as being one of the epicentres of slave trading in the UK. Olaudah Equiano, a famous Igbo slave and writer used to be a frequent visitor here. Therefore the anchor above must have something to do either with ship building or slavery.
