Anthony Prosper Quiney is an architectural historian, writer and photographer who has lived in Blackheath for many years. Dr. Quiney is Professor Emeritus of Architectural History at the University of Greenwich, and a fellow (and former president) of the Society of Antiquaries of London.

As a young boy, he was evacuated from London during the Blitz, to the countryside near a military airfield, where he befriended American airmen. This led to a lifelong fascination with military aviation. As a young man, Quiney served as a radar operator in the Royal Air Force, and later in life he realized a dream of piloting a restored Supermarine Spitfire.

He is the husband of Ginnie Hole; screenwriter for The House of Elliot, Casualty, and many other television programmes.

A tall man with thick white hair, Quiney is frequently seen with his Border Collie Rex, on the heath or in Greenwich Park.
