Taking inspiration from the statue of Nike in the Royal Arsenal, the exhibition brings together artwork from students in the Greek town of Volos, pottery from Pound Park Nursery and displays from Fossdene Primary School.

Co-ordinated by the artist Evi Robert, originally from Volos and now a Royal Borough resident, the exhibition also includes Romano-British religious artefacts from the Heritage Centre's collection that highlight the influence of Greek religion in the ancient world.

The statue of Nike was given to London by the city of Olympia, Greece, in September 2012 in honour of the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Heritage Centre is open Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday.

The art on display shows Eltham during the 1910s and 1920s just before it was transformed into the Eltham we know today, capturing the Eltham of old before it largely disappeared forever.

In 1900, despite having been incorporated within the County of London and a part of the then newly-created Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich, Eltham retained the character and appearance of a Kentish village. There was farmland and open country almost up to its doors.

By the outbreak of World War Two it had become suburbanised, with housing estates, transport systems, civic amenities and High Street department stores - as well as many more people.

The Greenwich Heritage Centre is open Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday.

Best-selling children's writer Jacqueline Wilson will unveil the statues as she has written a prequel to one of Edith Nesbit's most famous books, Five Children and It.

Edith Nesbit lived for 22 years in Well Hall, and the grounds of her home now form Well Hall Pleasaunce. 

Royal Greenwich Libraries will be holding a celebratory fortnight of E Nesbit's writing until the event.

From 22 April the Chatterbooks reading groups will feature Edith Nesbit's book Five Children and It, and Jacqueline Wilson's prequel Four Children and It.
