They made you slow down and think about what you wanted to take a picture of.A bit of a nostalgia thread.
Walking through Greenwich Maritime museum today, saw this..

It was my first camera, a kodak brownie 127.
Was really pleased with it when I was a boy. Took no more than 12 b/w pics per roll, so was very sparing with it.
Been walking thru Greenwich Park almost weekly recently. My daughter lives in Blackheath and we get to look after our grandson every Monday. Some great views from the top, overlooking the new skyline of canary wharf. But its a killer walking back up the hill with a pushchair.The Greenwich Observatory and all of that maritime area makes a great day out - done it twice over the past few years back there.

Haven't noticed any change in the last 10 years or so. The north facing side (main entrance) is probably the older part of the building. The south, facing the park does seem fairly modern, where the cafe is. They are doing some building work outside to the paths on the park side.Has the maritime museum had a makeover in recent years?
went in once and it seemed rather old fashioned/dry.
(I stress that i like some aspects of old fashioned presentation - not into museums full of AV "aids" where you may as well have sat at home with the laptop,)
yep I went to one of those once there a fair old number of years ago - Nelson?We were members a couple of years age to get into the "special exhibitions", but were a bit dissappointed. It was just a lots of information boards.
