Railway towards West Croydon
The route of the original atmospheric London and Croydon Railway, laid more or less along the course of the earlier Croydon Canal from New Cross onwards. Here it is exactly on the route.

Wide section of path parallel to railway
There is a flagged area, vent pipes and a small cabinet. Presumably there is some sort of cistern under the path.

Path parallel to railway
This follows the railway as far as St. James's Road. As the railway was laid on the bed of the Croydon Canal, it has been suggested this was once the towpath.
There is a wide section ahead at the end of Tavistock Grove with a flagged area, vent pipes and a small cabinet. Presumably there is some sort of cistern under the path.

Bird in Hand, Sydenham Road
This looks a bit closed, but possibly a bit open (normally). Some time later it was demolished and the site redeveloped. The building, although old, was only identified as a pub on post-war maps, but there is an 1865 reference to a 'beer shop' here, which then was an off-licence for beer only.
