Distance

West end of Sewell Road, Abbey Wood
Sewell Road runs parallel to the Ridgeway (southern outfall sewer - is there a deliberate alliteration?) for 1370m. The area south of the Ridgeway and eastwards from this point is known as Abbey Wood, rather than Thamesmead to the north.

Access to the Ridgeway from both sides
The sloping paths provide access from Sewell Road in Abbey Wood (left) and Nathan Way in Thamesmead (right). Together they offer a pedestrian/cycle route across the Ridgeway, which is a barrier to motor traffic, with no crossing points for nearly 3km.

Abbey Wood: The Southern Outfall Sewer
This embankment covers the pipes of the Southern Outfall Sewer on their way to the Crossness Sewage Treatment Works. The Sewer was constructed under the direction of Joseph Bazalgette, the Chief Engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and was built in the early 1860s. The embankment now has a footpath running along its top called The Ridgeway. Sewell Road is to the right. In a sad indictment of our times the powers that be feel it is necessary to monitor what is going on and the pole in the distance along the embankment is a CCTV mast. Just behind the photographer is another one.

Greenwich reuse and recycling centre
Greenwich borough does better than many other councils at recycling. This is the public facility where people can bring items that don't go in the domestic recycling bin such as wood, large metal items, electrical equipment and fluorescent tubes for recycling; there are also skips for general (non-recyclable) waste. Trade vehicles have to go to the "waste recovery centre" next door Image
