IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Clifton Road, COULSDON, CR5 2DW

Not content with a notice or the usual change in tarmac colour, the boundary between the London Boroughs of Croydon and Sutton is marked here by a line of stone setts in the road. That lamp post is skewed that way, it's not my photography. (unlike the houses which lean the other way.....oh well...)

Trees on Woodmansterne Road, a residential road in Coulsdon in the outer suburbs of south London. This image was taken on a February afternoon. Trees were bare for the winter months. The sun was low in the sky, resulting in long shadows.

Bramley Avenue is a tree-lined residential road in Coulsdon, in the outer suburbs of south London. A 20 mph speed limit applies, and the road has speed cushions as a traffic-calming measure. This image was taken on a February afternoon, when most of the trees were bare for the winter season.

On the London Loop path, this is part of a 2km-ish length of roadside walking as the route goes through Coulsdon. Loop waymark on the lamp post. Really nondescript this, except that you get a choice of walking on paving or grass depending which side of the road you're on.

The road is part of the London Loop Trail.

I am not sure whether these houses form part of the Clock House estate or not.

Woodmansterne Road, and the route of the LOOP, make a subtle change of direction here, heading up the hill to reach the 'Jack and Jill', an appropriately named public house. The route crosses the boundary from the London Borough of Croydon into the London Borough of Sutton on the way.

A branch line along the Chipstead Valley from the Brighton Main Line was first projected in 1884. This scheme failed to take off. The line from Purley East Junction to Kingswood & Burgh Heath was eventually opened on 2nd November 1897 as a single track and this was doubled during 1899. The line finally reached Tattenham Corner on 4th June 1901 - Derby Day. Woodmansterne station did not open until 17th July 1932. This is the view looking along the single island platform in the direction of Purley and London.

Southwood Avenue is a residential road on a hillside in Coulsdon, on the outer fringe of south London. This image was taken on a February afternoon. Most of the trees were bare for the winter season, although the tree to the left of the road is an evergreen.
