The tree on the right is a horse chestnut. On the far left can just be seen a 'recumbent', a type of low-slung bike, a variety of which were available for hire in the park. There were almost as many people on wheels as there were on feet. 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.
