Creekside, what have you done for me lately?
A community sound art project for the people of the Greenwich and Deptford Creekside borders.
Discover the Hidden Wonders of Greenwich/Deptford Creekside!
Come explore the hidden sounds of Greenwich/Deptford Creekside with us! You'll be amazed to learn that the wild spaces in our neighbourhood are actually homes for animals and plants, carefully planned to help us in special ways. We'll also uncover the secret sounds of nature hidden among the buildings, which play a big role in keeping us healthy. Our project shows how these spaces support wildlife, prevent flooding, and even help with breathing issues like hay fever. Understanding these hidden benefits helps us take better care of our local community and appreciate these areas more. Let's discover and connect with nature together!

Creekside a brief sound history
Creekside, a conservation area nestled in the heart of Greenwich/Deptford, has a rich history of sound shaped by its dynamic urban environment. Once a bustling hub of industrial activity, the area resonated with the clang of machinery and the rumble of trains as it served as a vital transportation link. Over time, as industries evolved and urban spaces transformed, the soundscape of Creekside shifted, welcoming a symphony of natural sounds amidst the echoes of its industrial past. Today, the area boasts a harmonious blend of urban hustle and natural tranquility, with the gentle chirping of birds, the rustle of leaves, and the flowing waters of Deptford Creek creating a vibrant sonic tapestry unique to this riverside community.
