New Charlton is the area along the south bank of the River Thames at Charlton, London, which forms part of the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It was formerly a primarily industrial zone, known for the glass and rope making industries, but is now an area of regeneration known as Charlton Riverside.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charlton Riverside : Draft Masterplan SPD : February 2012 )〕 ==History== Industrial development on the flat land adjoining the Thames at New Charlton began in the middle of the 19th century, especially after the opening of a private railway branch line to Angerstein Wharf in 1852. A notable establishment was the Siemens Brothers Telegraph Works opened in 1863, which manufactured two new transatlantic cables in the 1880s,〔(''A Visit to the Works of Messrs. Siemens Bros'', The Telegraphist, 2 June 1884. )〕 and contributed to the PLUTO project in World War II. Since the 1960s the area had sunk into industrial decline, with most of the original factories closing.
