North on Cold Blow Lane, New Cross Gate
Cold Blow Lane will shortly turn east under the railway. A map of around 1900 shows it threading its way beneath an explosion of railway lines, past Coldblow Farm to connect to Knoyle Street. There are two exotic plants in the view: Oleander in flower, left, and Date Palm, ahead. As the climate warms some exotics could go native: Date Palms overrunning Deptford.

East on Cold Blow Lane, New Cross Gate
According to a map from the nineteenth century, nearest the camera was once a bridge carrying a single line to sidings on the west side of New Cross Gate station. The next crossing took tracks to a range of coke ovens. The third and widest crossing carried the main line of the London Brighton & South Coast Railway. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16.9&lat=51.48162&lon=-0.04450&layers=257&right=osm
