Seen from Railway Side, which for most of its length is no more than a footpath. The buildings in the background stand on the far side of the railway line from Waterloo to Windsor. As I understand it, the apple tree is growing on what was once the track-bed of the old London & South Western Railway's Barnes Curve (hence the name Railway Side).
