Shirley Oaks: former children's home
Shirley Oaks children's home, a facility operated by the London County Council prior to its abolition in 1965 (after which responsibility for children in care passed not to its successor the Greater London Council but to the various newly-constituted London Boroughs), has largely been demolished and replaced by a tight knot of new housing surrounded by lawns. Some of the old buildings from the children's home survive, however, and these are some of them.

Early December in a suburban garden
My own back garden. It's a fairly large 1930s semi. The speculative builders simply bought a field, ran a road down the middle, and built houses either side. The gardens terminated at the edge of the field, which at this point coincided with a minor stream, the Chaffinch (now below ground). It also meant that they were pretty long, as well as wide - since the houses had garages and side entrances at the side. The oak trees would have been little more than saplings when the house was built. The tree on the left will soon lose its leaves, but the leaves of the tree on the right will stay until pushed off by the spring's new growth. The animal track in the lawn (centre right, leading towards the pampas grass) is part of the local foxes' regular route in search of scraps.
