This memorial in Woolwich Old Cemetery is to Margaret Flaunty who died in 1910 aged 57 and to her husband Edward who died in 1940 aged 87. The houses behind are in Kingsdale Road and the flats are in Gilbourne Road.

A building of excellent appearance dating from the early Victorian years, it has a porch and spire, and is shaded by an old cedar tree. This hillside cemetery appears open and uncrowded.

The Princess Alice was a pleasure steamer that sank off Tripcock Ness on the evening of Tuesday 3rd September 1878 in the greatest tragedy ever seen on the Thames. It had been sliced in two by the Bywell Castle, a coal ship. Only 69 out of the 700 passengers survived. Thousands of people attended the mass funeral of 120 of the victims held at Woolwich Old Cemetery on Monday 9th September (although then it was called just Woolwich Cemetery as the New Cemetery did not open until 1885). The Celtic cross monument marking the grave was paid for by the sixpenny donations of 23,000 people. The memorial is near the top of the hill, towards Camdale Road.
