A distinctive house in Pevensey Road
This house is on the corner of Pevensey Road and Hesketh Road. It is fortunate that there is an outside post box as there are at least six notices on the front, warning of dogs.

Entrance to Cann Hall Park
This tiny park is seen here from the entrance in Cann Hall Road. Despite its small size the park has a five-a-side kickabout area, a floodlit skate park, a pavilion, a sensory garden, an under 12's play area and an under 7's play area.

Looking towards the war memorial at West Ham Cemetery
West Ham Cemetery was established by the West Ham Burial Board in 1857 and was extended in 1871. Good drainage and low cost were considered more important than the landscape potential when the land was purchased. As a result the cemetery is rather lacking in distinctive features and has a straightforward grid of paths.
There is just the one entrance - in Cemetery Road. This is near the far end, looking along a line of lime trees towards the war memorial.

Jubilee Pond, Wanstead Flats
Looking across the pond towards Dames Road. The pond was busy with lots of gulls, geese, ducks and swans - including many juveniles.

Jubilee Pond, Wanstead Flats
Wanstead Flats form the southernmost portion of Epping Forest. A perambulation of 1225 defined the southern boundary of Epping Forest as the main road from Bow Bridge via Stratford to Romford. The woodland extended south at least as far as Plashet at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086 (Plashet was a Norman-French name meaning a type of forest enclosure). Most of the woodland on what is now Wanstead Flats disappeared during the Middle Ages, and by the end of the 18th century the only unenclosed forest here was a few pieces on the southern fringe of Wanstead Flats. Further enclosure of the flats by Earl Cowley in 1871 caused protests, led by the City of London which was a commoner of the Forest after the purchase of Aldersbrook Farm to build the City of London Cemetery. These protests eventually led to the Epping Forest Act of 1878, which preserved the remaining Forest, including Wanstead Flats, from further encroachment or enclosure.
This is Jubilee Pond, near Lake House Road and Dames Road, late on a chilly winter's afternoon.
