Albatross Street, LONDON, SE18 2SA

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

On Timbercroft Lane.

The pub is called 'The Who'd 'a' Thought It' so a flying pig on the sign seems right. This is on Timbercroft Lane near Plumstead Common.

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 !

Plumstead Common Working Men's Club & Institute is where local lad Steve Davis learned to play snooker. His Wikipedia entry says: "Steve Davis, OBE (born 22 August 1957) is a retired English professional snooker player from Plumstead, London. He dominated the sport during the 1980s, when he reached eight World Snooker Championship finals in nine years, won six world titles, held the world number one ranking for seven consecutive seasons, and became the first snooker player to earn over £1 million in prize money. His encounter with Dennis Taylor in the 1985 World Championship final is widely noted as one of the most famous matches in snooker history. Decided on the final black, it set a record post-midnight UK television audience of 18.5 million viewers. The BBC named Davis its Sports Personality of the Year in 1988, and he remains the only snooker player ever to win the award."

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.
