What might at first appear to be litter on the side of the road in the foreground are in fact Giant Puffballs (see Image).

Part of the 1960s or 70s Woodlands Estate (see Image). All the roads are named after vicars of St Mary's Church: in this photo are Harrison Close (named after John Harrison, vicar from 1847 to 1901) with Talbot Close off to the right (named after Richard Talbot, vicar from 1929 to 1947) and part of Lymden Gardens in the foreground (named after John Lymden, vicar from 1532 to 1536 and the last Prior of Reigate prior to the dissolution of Reigate Priory in the Reformation). The other roads on the estate are Sheldon Close (named after Frederick Sheldon, vicar from 1947 to 1957) and Cranston Close (named after Andrew Cranston, vicar from 1697 and 1708 and founder of the Cranston Library, the first public lending library in Britain - see Image).
