    Stones was a bit further up towards Woolwich. Their playing fields used to be where the new developments are (my Grandad used to work there)

    Eltham Park was the other station

    sorry didn't see it had already been answered!

    If you want to be pedantic the hospital question could have included Castlewood Day hospital making 4 hospitals!
  • My mum used to work at Stones at Deptford and I used to go to Stones playing fields to watch the Charlton players train pre-season

    No, the Plough was still there last time I looked - although I think it's name has changed a dozen or so times.

    I'm talking about the little boozer on the actual road up to the station where the DLR is now.
