Dist:0.4km<br/>A variety of trees in this small and exotically-named patch of green. The snow had fallen a few days before. No offers for the derivation of the name I'm afraid. One can hardly expect a vegetarian to know. But more info here: [[[2766694]]].

Dist:0.4km<br/>Shoulder of Mutton Green, which is actually a very old feature where cattle may have rested while travelling along Watling Street, features every year a fine show of crocuses followed by daffodils. The green used to be the old village green of East Wickham and was known by this name, which was due to its peculiar shape, as early as the middle of the 18th century. The church on the right is St. Mary the Virgin on Wickham Street, whilst on the left in the distance are the slopes of Shooters Hill.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This created quite a stir as these horses and riders progressed along the local roads. Most of the riders had control of three horses. This picture was taken in Wickham Street with Shoulder of Mutton Green on the left and the tower of St Mary the Virgin Church on the right. The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery had only moved to the Royal Artillery Barracks a month before and it seems that they were trying out local roads. On this occasion they progressed via Plumstead Common to Welling, and via Welling Way and Rochester Way to the South Circular Road and back to the barracks. For more detail about The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King's_Troop,_Royal_Horse_Artillery#cite_note-3
