The Deptford People’s Heritage Museum is located in the Pepys Resource Centre, a stone’s throw from the Deptford Docks, from which notable ships and perpetrators travelled to abduct millions of people into the slave trade and extracted resources through the exploits of the East India company. Set up among community resources including a food bank, women’s support programmes and other locally led initiatives, the Museum is made by people who live in the surrounding area who trace histories and ancestral links to and from Deptford, tell the stories of local struggles for freedom and plot these histories in relation to contemporary issues facing their community and others around the world.
