The southern edge of Castle Woods, part of the Shooters Hill Woodlands, is to be found 20 metres behind the photographer. Parts of these ancient woodlands are considered to be at least 8,000 years old and trees from them were used in the Woolwich and Deptford dockyards for shipbuilding in the past. An access/exit point to and from this 'green space' is to be found ahead, between Nos. 35-37, Crookston Road. The houses ahead are situated in the northern part of the 'Eltham Park' area.
