As I was taking photographs here - in mid-September - conkers were plonking down from the horse-chestnut trees, a sharp reminder of the changing season. I've known Aberdeen Park since my student days, and it's always seemed oddly suburban - compared with the urban terraces a few minutes' walk away. I suppose it's because here there are generous front-gardens, and trees which (to a degree) screen the houses from the street. There's no such suburban concealment in Highbury Place: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6964056
