Ladderstile Ride in snow
Looking SE from near Ladderstile Gate towards Kingston Hill, some 36 hours after the first substantial snowfall of the winter. Ladderstile Gate, once known as Coombe Gate, is one of Richmond Park's pedestrian gates. The name derives from a step-ladder which gave access over the Park wall until replaced by a conventional gate in or about 1885. (Historical information from Collenette's book, 'A History of Richmond Park').

Vendredi Treize (2)
Two of six skeletons guarding the gates of a property in Warren Road (at the Kingston Hill end).
The second week of October seemed unduly early for Hallowe'en celebrations, but a passer-by suggested the date being celebrated was Friday the 13th.
Grisly, in any case.

Vendredi Treize (1)
One of six skeletons guarding the gates to a property in Warren Road. I remarked to a passer-by that it seemed a bit early for Hallowe'en - and he suggested that people might be having a 'Friday the 13th' party.

Entrance to The Coombe Estate
The land around Warren Road was originally part of Coombe Farm. Between 1864 and 1883, many leases of land were granted at Coombe Warren, near the present George and Warren Roads. The people to whom the leases had been granted built large houses with gardens of several acres. These provided the setting for ‘The Forsyte Saga’ by John Galsworthy. The mansions could be reached by a relatively comfortable drive from London and yet provided all the rural pleasures of Surrey. Warren Road is part of the private Coombe Estate. The ‘warren’ refers to rabbit warrens and in the first volume of The Forsyte Saga, Galsworthy writes “The warren was as lonely as a prairie, its silence only broken by the rustle of rabbits bolting to their holes and the song of the larks.” This is the entrance to The Coombe Estate from Kingston Hill opposite Ladderstile Gate from Richmond Park.
