St Patrick's church, Hector Street
Originally St Paul's church (Anglican) built in 1909, and since 1968, St Patrick's (Roman Catholic). The sale from the C of E to the RC church was a legal first and required an Act of Parliament.

Conway School, Plumstead
Victorian Board Schools like this one put many modern architects to shame. This has always been a poor area and yet the two towers are quite something. It is seen here from Gallosson Road.
Sherlock Holmes said about the Board Schools to Watson "Look at those big, isolated clumps of building rising up above the slates, like brick islands in a lead-coloured sea." "The board-schools." said Watson. "Light-houses, my boy! Beacons of the future! Capsules with hundreds of bright little seeds in each, out of which will spring the wise, better England of the future."

Bebbington Road, Plumstead
Ahead is Conway Primary School, a slightly forbidding four-storey Victorian building. It is unusual nowadays to find a primary school still accommodated in such traditional premises.
