Where the Robin Hood PH once stood
This is the former location of the Robin Hood PH at the junction of Longbridge Road (crossing the photo), Lodge Avenue and Becontree Avenue. I can now confirm from driving past here earlier this year (2011), it is now a Lidl supermarket, which I was pleasantly surprised about!

The northern entrance to Mayesbrook Park
Mayesbrook Park was first opened in 1934 during the growth of the Becontree Estate and was formed by enclosing land that was previously open countryside. The two lakes were created when gravel was extracted for use in building the Estate. The lakes are known locally as 'Matchstick Island' and more formally, if uninspiringly, as North Lake and South Lake.
The park was originally designed by the Landscape Architect Thomas Mawson but his plans were never fully realised as the Second World War intervened. Construction stopped and the park was used for temporary army accommodation.
In 2011 the park was significantly altered by widening the Mayes Brook, which followed the western edge of the park, and moving it to meander through the park.
This looks towards the northern entrance from inside the park. Waterside Close off Longbridge Road is beyond.
