Chaldon Way Gardens was given to the Urban District Council by the developer, Fairdean Heights Ltd, who built the surrounding houses during the 1930s. The Company also allowed the Council to collect and use free of charge "such earth, turf, sub-soil, flowers and shrubs as can be removed from the Company's Fairdean Heights Estate" to create the Gardens. The ornamental garden were constructed with lawns, shrub beds and annual bedding displays, and a small shelter at one end of the garden. The shelter can be seen here along with a display of crocuses. Chaldon Way Gardens are in the angle formed by Marlpit Lane and Chaldon Way.

Looking towards Hillside Road, and it is on a major hill.

Coulsdon Memorial Ground was opened in 1921 after being purchased in 1920, partly by Coulsdon and Purley Urban District Council and partly by public subscription. The putting green area was purchased several years later. At the top of the hill there is a memorial which takes the form of a portico with a wall bearing the names of those killed in the two World Wars. This has the inscription "To the memory of the men of Coulsdon who fell in the Great War 1914-1919." A bronze plaque was added bearing the words "and in memory of those who fell in the World War 1939-1945." To the rear of the recreation ground are deep chalk quarries which in the past had spur lines from the nearby railway running into the slopes to transport the extracted stone. This view looks across the bowling green from Marlpit Lane.

Looking up the road towards Farthing Downs. I'm standing on the gridline, and the left half of the photograph is in this gridsquare.
