Ancona Road, Plumstead, c. 1900

Ancona Road, Plumstead, c. 1900  

Looking north along Ancona Road towards the sprawling factories of the Royal Arsenal and the River Thames.

The camera shutter speed is so slow that even the horse and cart crossing the road in the middle distance are blurred!

This photograph, one of a set, shows Plumstead's recently constructed terraced housing looking smart and new.
