496 Photography. 



very busy about 1717. And some of this notable work still stands, 

 viz., a portion of Greenwich Hospital, Mince Pie House, and 

 Vanbrugh Castle. Many other subjects will be suggested by the 

 material in the other reports of this Handbook. The origin of 

 Woolwich as a fishing village remains yet in evidence, as shown by 

 the old cottages in High Street and Nile Street (near the Free 

 Ferry). 



The Woolwich Photographic Society, which was formed in 1892, 

 is affiliated to the Royal Photographic Society, and also to the 

 South Eastern Union of Scientific Societies. For some 

 years past its members have been engaged in local survey and 

 record work, and it is hoped that they will join in a renewed effort 

 at the Congress to make the Photographic Survey Association of 

 Kent take a leading place among the survey associations now 

 engaged in carrying out a work of national importance. The 

 Central or Standing Committee of the National Photographic 

 Record Association receives all prints for the British Museum 

 collection, and, if approved, mounts and deposits them in fhe 

 British Museum. The material already collected by the Woolwich 

 Photographic Society, and much more which it is hoped will be 

 prepared as the outcome of this Congress, will in due course be placed 

 at the disposal of the Borough authorities for preservation.
