The Westcombe Woodlands can be seen on the right of this 1906 view from one of the chimneys of the newly-built Greenwich Power station. Trafalgar Road is in the foreground, with Maze Hill station beyond and the woodlands immediately to the south. In the distance can be seen Shooter’s Hill. The white building on the upper edge of the Woodlands (and which is shown in the inset) is Woodlands House, which was demolished 20 years later and whose site is now occupied by the modern houses of Lasseter Place (courtesy Blackheath Society)
