William Barefoot Gardens were laid out in the 1930s and opened in 1942. At the entrance on Alliance Road are fine wrought iron gates with the Borough coat-of-arms. The site is steeply sloping and has an area of lawn at the base of the hill, with a path winding up through steep woodland and shrubbery to an entrance at the top of the hill, which leads directly into Woolwich New Cemetery. Woolwich New Cemetery is at the top of the hill on the left. The gardens are named after William Barefoot (1872-1941) who had been Mayor of Woolwich in 1925-27.

On Wickham Lane, with a 96 bus leaving the southbound stop, viewed from another 96 bus.

Going south on the A209.

This view looks towards East Wickham Open Space at the end of the road.

Woolwich Cemetery is in two parts, the Old Cemetery to the west and the New Cemetery to the east. The Old Cemetery was laid out by Woolwich Burial Board in 1856 and the land for the New Cemetery was purchased in 1885 and is still in use. It contains graves of those who died in explosions at the Royal Arsenal and a number of War Graves, including a holder of the Victoria Cross. It was on the last day of January afternoon when this reflection in a flooded path was photographed. Bostall Woods can be seen in the distance across the Wickham Valley.

This former landfill site is now a fine open space on the borders of Plumstead and Welling. This view looks across the Wickham Valley to Bostall Woods.
