The Green Chain Walk then rises up steeply through the woods ahead to reach Plumstead Common. The flats on the right are around Grosmont Road.

Plume Of Feathers Public House
Opposite St Nicholas Gardens at the top of St Nicholas Road is the Plume of Feathers Public House. To the east of the pub is a large garden that was used by visitors using the terminus that used to be beside the pub in front of the gardens. The west side entrance leads to the old stables as the Inn was a coach stop before trams.

View from Winn's Common
Winn's Common is the eastern part of Plumstead Common. Although this was once heathland there is now no heather to be found although plants such as gorse are still to be seen. However, names such as Heath Villas and Heathfield Terrace are reminders of what was once here. There are also tremendous views across the Thames basin as seen here from a spur between Riverdale Road and Purrett Road. The wind pump is across the river in Dagenham.
