Long Lane Woods, Croydon
Image: © Philip Talmage Taken: 6 Aug 2005
15 acres of rat-infested and litter-strewn woodland beside Long Lane, open all the time to the public. It was shown on Thomas Bainbridges map of Croydon in 1800. The area has remained almost unaltered - litter louts, lovers and lurkers excepted - but surrounding fields have been replaced by houses and gardens.
