Auto Stacker

The Auto Stacker was an ill-fated but ambitious project by Woolwich Borough Council in south-east London. It cost £100,000 in 1961 and was located on Beresford Street, Woolwich. As the name suggests, the Auto Stacker was a machine that parked cars in a stack, using a combination of conveyor belts and lifts to move vehicles from ground level to one of 256 carpark spaces. It was, effectively, an automated multi-storey car park, and was situated above a car showroom, workshop and petrol station.

Royal Docks Heritage Railway

The Royal Docks Heritage Railway, endorsed in 2006 by Newham London Borough Council, was proposed to open during 2007, taking over the North Woolwich Old Station Museum and the closed section of the North London Line between Custom House and North Woolwich railway stations. Rather than concentrating on the Great Eastern Railway, it would have shown the heritage of local and suburban National Rail lines in London and the south east.
