From the upper reaches of Shrewsbury Park, there are extensive views down to Plumstead Common and across the Thames. In this view, Bostall Woods are on the left horizon behind the tree, whilst to the right is looking towards Bexleyheath.

Alabama Street has, like much of this part of Plumstead, Victorian houses on either side of the street except for a gap between Lucknow Street and Pegwell Street. On either side of Alabama Street there are terraces of modern houses. The reason is that at 20.00 hours on 20th March 1941, a high explosive land mine came down here, killing a total of 27 people. Two gravestones to some of them can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6466124 and https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6493852

Shrewsbury Park once formed part of the grounds of Shrewsbury House which is now a community centre to the south beyond the boundary of the park. Shrewsbury Park was purchased for public use by the London County Council in 1928. The Green Chain Walk passes through the park. There are fine views to the north-east as seen here, as well as to the north-west from the other side of the woodland near Rowton Road as seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6441029 Details of the Friends of Shrewsbury Park can be found at http://www.fspark.org.uk/

A very rare 'Type E' postbox, of which only a couple of dozen survive in use today. The posting slot is at one end of the oval rather than along a side as might be expected... that's because there is a (now disused) stamp vending machine on the other side. See Image for detail of the stamp machine.

This very rare oval postbox is one of only a couple of dozen 'Type E' postboxes which survive on the street. The posting slot is on the other end of the box, while this side has a (now disused) stamp vending machine, which we see here. See Image for the front view of the box.

This un-signed building is on Erindale. Opposite Erindale Terrace. It was also a community hall as well as a library. ? if closed under the current budget cuts !
