The site now occupied by Plumstead Cemetery was formerly parkland that was laid out during the 17th century. The land was owned by Old Park Farm in 1845. Plumstead Cemetery was opened by Woolwich Burial Board in 1890. It occupies a prominent hillside and is backed to the north by Bostall Woods. For much more detail about the cemetery see http://www.londongardensonline.org.uk/gardens-online-record.asp?ID=GRN040 In the distance, beyond the path, the group of gravestones are to civilians killed in the Borough of Woolwich during the Second World War.
