Plumstead Common in autumn
Plumstead Common was purchased for the people in 1877. Before that, the parish council had grazing rights and free access, even though the land was owned by Queens College, Oxford. From 1871 the college had allowed the Army access and it was largely turned into a military training ground. This led to a storm of protest and a procession to the Common took place. Their leader was temporarily imprisoned and further protest took place until an Act of Parliament authorised purchase of the Common by the Metropolitan Board of Works.
This autumnal view looks across Warwick Terrace towards Plumstead Manor School.

Plumstead windmill
The brick tower is the remains of an 18th century windmill. The site was an obvious one, on the top of the escarpment on the edge of Plumstead Common where it would make the most of the prevailing wind. The tower is grade 2 listed (listed building no. 200464) and appears to have been converted to residential use.
