Period fabric around Deptford often means layered alterations, solid walls and services that have been changed over decades — emitters, circulation, controls and water-side plant must be read from the unit, not from the neighbourhood name. Regeneration area is a local reference often used when describing access, elevations or neighbouring fabric around Deptford.
