Greenhayes, Radcliffe Road
Until the late 1960s the west side of Radcliffe Road was occupied by substantial houses with large gardens and mature trees, while now there are maisonettes and side streets. A curious feature was the unmade footpaths at the side of the road, going back to its origins as a private road, which could be closed off from Addiscombe Road by a pair of large wooden gates. This lack of pavements remains, which is most strange. This was the house of the photographer, my grandfather, whose immediate family moved from the house in 1966 (a SOLD sign can be seen at the front gate).
Harold J. Thomas was a prolific amateur photographer, and I am sure that it is this memory from childhood and the hours spent in his darkroom at this house that has drawn me through a photographic obsession to Geograph today. My first camera (Kodak Brownie 127) was a Christmas present from him a year or two from the date of this image.

Radcliffe Road (1963)
Radcliffe Road seen under snowy conditions (see also Image) at Christmas 1963, and presenting a tree-lined aspect that endures today. Houses on the east side of the road are little changed, but maisonettes occupy much of the west side today, replacing larger houses with extensive gardens.
Image from the collection of my late grandfather, who lived here.

Radcliffe Road, Addiscombe, Croydon
One of the more "rural" looking roads near central Croydon. Being a side road, it does not appear to have been gritted, so the snow is still looking white.

Skew driveways
Three houses (one out of shot) sharing the frontage for about one and a half. It looks like developers have put three houses on the land of just one plus part of the garden of the next house left.

Towards the tunnel
After leaving the Sandilands stop, cars for New Addington turn sharp right at the bottom of the slope to access an old railway formation where a tunnel, or more accutrately three short tunnels very close together, will take them to the next stop at Lloyd Park.

Tram crossing the junction of Chepstow Road and Addiscombe Road
I can highly recommend these trams, it is a very good service and I have covered it all except the Beckenham branch so far.
