Plumstead: detail of a Type E postbox
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.

Plumstead: postbox № SE18 73, Flaxton Road
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.

Alabama Street, Plumstead
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
