East Greenwich

I followed the link to this page from another page for 'East Greenwich'- what you have here is a lot of stuff about Greenwich, as the tourists know it. East Greenwich is different - it has a dynamic industrial history (sorry you don't note my various books on that!) but archaeological finds in the past year look to rewrite the history of both East Greenwich and tourist Greenwich - with all its stories of royalty and myths about the navy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.223.224 (talk) 08:23, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anachronism ?

I know that I should just rewrite the stuff, but haven´t got the time required at the moment. There are some grave inconsistencies in this, as an example this one : "Anne of Denmark had a house built by Inigo Jones on the hill above, overlooking the hospital" I know how this can be read, seen from today´s point of view, but phrases like this does indeed make the understanding of the history wrong. Anne was long dead when Charles, who commissioned the hospital, was born. So how could she build a house overlooking this hospital ???
