Woolwich wander
Falconwood to North Woolwich, London. Mon 28 May 2018
I walked around the gate to take a few photographs
This area was all part of the Royal Dockyard site, and shown as blank
on old maps
Eventually you can get to the Thames path if you follow the signs,
though more directly if you walk through the
private estate. The Thames path goes a further 250m west from where
you join it, before you reach a fence and
have to walk back. It isn't a satisfactory solution, but has been
like that for years. However the views are good
and enhanced by the pollution haze.
Turning back and looking towards Woolwich. Two ferries are moored
- only one was in use, and in the distance
flats on the Royal Arsenal estate - another blank area on the old
maps.
The Ernest Bevin and the pier at North Woolwich
A footbridge over a wall acts as a viewpoint, but was vibrating slightly
in the light breeze.

and we walk along the pier to catch it
