Woolwich Cemetery is in two parts, the Old Cemetery to the west and the New Cemetery to the east. The Old Cemetery was laid out by Woolwich Burial Board in 1856 and the land for the New Cemetery was purchased in 1885 and is still in use. It contains graves of those who died in explosions at the Royal Arsenal and a number of War Graves, including a holder of the Victoria Cross. It was on the last day of January afternoon when this reflection in a flooded path was photographed. Bostall Woods can be seen in the distance across the Wickham Valley.
