Corvus Curiosa
A Carrion Crow (Corvus corone) eyes me warily from a tree beside Simms Gardens - He's wondering what the thing I'm pointing at him is but obviously doesn't think it's a shot-gun otherwise he'd be off! The tree itself has quite a healthy growth of lichens, suggesting that the air quality isn't too bad.

Cold and Frosty Morning
View of the housing estate built on the site of Simms factory. The block of flats on the left are on a part of Brendan Grove, whilst the houses behind the fenced play area are on Taunton Drive. Swings and slide have been removed from the play area. The landscaped grass in the foreground was the site of Oak Lodge - once a manor house and in its last years, a school for special needs children.

Simms Gardens
Viewed from Tarling Road, Simms Gardens recalls the name of the founder of Simms Motor Units, subsequently part of Lucas CAV. This is part of the housing estate built following the closure of the factory on this site. This area was the car park. Previously, it had been allotments. The road, which routes through to Long Lane, is divided in the middle to prevent through traffic and is called Lucas Gardens at the other end.

Lucas Gardens
Part of a housing estate built on the site of the old Simms Factory. This road takes its name for Lucas who took over Simms. The area on which these apartments stand was the car park. Previously, it had been allotments. The road connects to Long Lane at the far end. It is divided in the middle to prevent through traffic and the section behind me is called Simms Gardens at the other end.

Emergency Attendance
The London Air Ambulance attends and emergency on Brendon Grove. This particular helicopter, a McDonnell-Douglas MD902 Explorer was in service with the Surrey Air Ambulance. The London Air Ambulance service has been fund raising for a second helicopter to join their regular MD902 G-EHMS. So whether this is a temporary loan or a permanent deployment remains to be seen.
