Deptford was a working-class area situated on the south bank of the River Thames. It was home to many dock workers, seamen, and industrial workers who lived in densely populated tenements and terrace houses.

The Surrey Docks and Millwall Docks were two of the busiest ports in London during the late 19th century. They were important centers of trade and commerce, with many ships arriving and departing from the docks daily. The docks provided employment opportunities for many residents in the surrounding areas.

The West India Dock (Export) and South Dock were also significant centers of commerce, providing employment to many local residents. The docks were crucial in the shipping of goods and raw materials between London and the rest of the world.

The Cooperage was a large brewery located in the heart of Deptford. It produced a range of beers and ales, and was an important employer in the area.

Other places of interest in the area included the Deptford Town Hall, which served as the local government center, and St. Nicholas Church, which was one of the oldest churches in London. The area was also home to the Royal Naval Academy, which trained many officers for the British Navy.
