"The Green", this huge bare area in front of the parade ground, has recently been prepared and seeded by Blackheath Cricket Club as a new cricket field. The actual "Parade Ground" is currently inside the construction company's black security fencing. The centre-most building - .i.e. the library building (c.1808) - with its leaded ogee domed octagonal towers was modelled on the White Tower of the Tower of London, where the architect, Sir James Wyatt, worked in his role as Surveyor-General of the Ordnance. A private, gravelled road runs in front of the security fencing from the West Lodge (on the right) to the East Lodge in the other direction, the latter emptying onto Red Lion Road.
