I'm confident about my identification of this as a tree. I'd go so far as to say it's a deciduous tree. The 72-acre park dates from 1890. It was laid out by Lt Col J.J. Sexby of the Metropolitan Board of Works, after an initial design by Charles Barry junior, surveyor to Dulwich College who donated the site. With its clothes on, I was able to identify it as a horse chestnut.
