I am very grateful to Arthur Manners who wrote in recently to point out that the Arsenal munitions site, has been transferred from MOD ownership to Greenwich council hands now.
The Royal Artillery museum closes in July 2016 and soon after its all likely to be flats. So if you want to set foot in some of the old factory buildings and get a feel for the history before they are apartment blocks now is the time to visit.
As Arthur added, soon the Dial Arch pub will be the only thing their you can visit, and there probably isn’t anything of any real historical value to Arsenal FC in there anyway.
Meanwhile in case you missed it, Bob Wilson OBE (that is THE Bob Wilson, the Arsenal goalkeeper) very kindly wrote an article for Untold Arsenal, to coincide with the publication of our latest book Arsenal: the Long Sleep, for which he has written the introduction.
Bob’s article for Untold Arsenal and a very brief summary of his life are on these links…
