The houses are built in pairs, with ornate porches and bay windows. The nearest two have had loft conversions, hence the roof-lights.

View on the way up to Pole Hill
Pole Hill stands at 0 degrees longitude, and 51 degrees 38 minutes north latitude. Its main claim to fame is the fact that it lies directly on the Greenwich meridian. On top of the hill there are two obelisks. One is an Ordnance Survey trig point. The other one and much larger is made of granite and bears the following inscription:
"This pillar was erected in 1824 under the direction of the Reverend John Pond, MA, Astronomer Royal. It was placed on the Greenwich Meridian and its purpose was to indicate the direction of true north from the transit telescope of the Royal Observatory. The Greenwich Meridian as changed in 1850 and adopted by international agreement in 1884 as the line of zero longitude passes 19 feet to the east of this pillar."
Over recent years the trees on the surrounding slopes have been allowed to grow up which has obscured the previously fine views. Now the only view from the actual summit is a narrow one due south towards the BT Tower as seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4536676 This view is from the slope on the way to the summit from Mornington Road and looks over Chingford.
