Approaching Windhover roundabout from West End Road /Kanes Hill. The Windhover is a huge roundabout that at one time was part of a huge house garden, with many ornamental trees and bushes still there. The derelict house in this photo has been like this since WW2. It has suffered bomb damage, you can see a huge crack down the wall. The story goes, that at the time it was being used as an agricultural building, as the whole area was strawberry fields. An argument arose over compensation that the owners did not win, so it's still in the sorry state 65 years later!
