Vapour trails over Zion Place, Thornton Heath, on a cold morning
Flights from southern and south-eastern Europe, and from further destinations that approach from the same direction, approach London Heathrow along this flight-path: emerging from a stack over the North Downs, planes pass over north-westwards over New Addington, swing north-eastwards over Croydon and Thornton Heath and effectively follow the valley of the River Ravensbourne towards the Thames, where they swing west to join the procession of planes (during the daytime, one every 90 seconds) heading west to land at Heathrow.

The school badge is a rampant white horse, extremely like that of Kent, although this area was never in Kent as far as I can make out.

Railway work in progress
The rails appear to be only clipped to the sleepers at wide intervals with some sort of temporary device. The permanent clips appear to be in place but not driven home. The man seems to be using an air drill on something held under his boot, possibly a shim.
