Cottages, Lee Common
At the far end, set back so mostly hidden, is a former pub, The Bugle. Set forward beyond it and apparently part of the same enterprise is what looks like a former shop.

The Bugle, Lee Common
This pub was always, let's say "idiosyncratically" run. Sadly it's currently not open. Maybe one day Lee Common will have a pub again.

Former KX100 Telephone Kiosk at Lee Common
Situated in Oxford Street HP16 9JP adjacent to the allotments, this photo shows a KX100 telephone kiosk with a notice inside it informing everyone that the kiosk is shortly to be taken out by BT due to lack of usage. Unfortunately, there is very poor reception for mobile phone users in that area so it is hoped that a mobile phone mast will be installed in that locality, once the kiosk has been taken out. Update: the former telephone kiosk has since been removed from this location.

Lee Common Jubilee Well, Bucks
Situated in Oxford Street, Lee Common, HP16 9JT, this well was dug to improve the public water supply in Lee Common. It was started in 1896 and finished in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The well, hand dug using candles for illumination and a pair of the local blacksmith's bellows for forced ventilation, is 365 feet deep and 4 feet 6 inches in diameter. The cables, when removed, stretched from the well to the telephone box on your left at the end of the allotments. There were two counter acting buckets, each 4 feet 6 inches high and containing 25 gallons of water; they were raised by means of the handle on the left.
The well was closed in the early 1950's due to rising pollution levels and was made a Grade II listed building in 1986. It is owned and maintained by The Lee Parish Council, most recently in September, 2008.
