Redhill: Delhi Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 17 Apr 2020
Looking along this side-road from Redhill Avenue, opposite Redhill Park. It is the northerly of the three 'prongs' forming a fork-shaped layout with Middleton Road the middle one and Elmes Road the southern one, which latter extends eastward to form the fork's handle. Comley Road runs at 90º and links the three roads. No other roads in the area have an obvious Indian connection in their names, so I don't know how the name Delhi came about. The houses are typical of the area - fine detached houses built in the earlier decades of the 20th century. The fact that we can only glimpse them tells its own story: the houses were built before off-road parking was a consideration. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. This is photo no.107 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/My-2020-Coronavirus-Lockdown-walking-project for the complete set of photos.
