Plessey Woods

[pilgrim]

I recall many years spent swimming there etc etc and you could drive in beside the bridge and park etc. - although I am puzzled as to how and under what legislation anyone parking beside the bridge now gets a ticket???????????????????

 

I am aware that the quarry there was used for the stone for Hartford Hall but I also seem to have found a reference that the stone was used to face tower bridge??

 

I also believe that there was a 'secret' base in the woods in case of German invasion during WW2 - any info on this??

Secret base has been covered in one of the topics pilgrim. Look for the Anthony Quale mentions.
