Former canal path, Burgess Park
Springtime in Burgess Park, with cherry trees in bossom.
The park occupies land which was formerly streets, housing and light industry flanking a canal. The path in this image follows the route of the canal, which was filled in in the 1980s. The footbridge survives as a reminder that the canal used to be here.

Springtime in Burgess Park
Burgess Park in South London has been created on land which was formerly a canal flanked by factories, warehouses and residential streets. This wide path follows the route of the canal, which was filled in in the 1980s. The footbridge in the distance used to cross the canal.
The path is lined with cherry trees, which are covered in blossom for a short period in April each year.

Burgess Park
Photo taken near Sumner Road and the Trafalgar Bridge which used to go over a canal. See the historic map for a contrast -- the area was much more built up then.
