Hare Street and Powis Street in Woolwich were developed as part of the new shopping centre created in the mid 19th century to the south of the original riverside town. Hare Street - then Richard Street - was finished in 1821 with a total of 158 houses built. Most houses were two storeys high, occasionally three. The narrowest frontages were put up by shipwrights from Woolwich Dockyard, and then sub-leased.

Woolwich Foot Tunnel was opened by Lord Cheylesmore, Chairman of the LCC, on Saturday 26 October 1912. It was designed by Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice and built by Walter Scott & Middleton for London County Council. Its creation owed much to the efforts of working-class politician Will Crooks who had worked in the docks and, after chairing the LCC’s Bridges Committee responsible for the tunnel, would later serve as Labour MP for Woolwich.

Before zebra crossings were invented, other mammal-based crossing ideas were trialled. The inflatable giraffe crossing certainly aided visibility but never really caught on
