Alabama Street has, like much of this part of Plumstead, Victorian houses on either side of the street except for a gap between Lucknow Street and Pegwell Street. On either side of Alabama Street there are terraces of modern houses. The reason is that at 20.00 hours on 20th March 1941, a high explosive land mine came down here, killing a total of 27 people. Two gravestones to some of them can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6466124 and https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6493852
