Quietway improvements (2)
Where Oxley Close meets Abercorn Way, the former narrow gap Image was replaced around April 2015 with a wider gap to allow cyclists through at higher speeds, and more signage to indicate that it is part of the London Cycle Network (and the new "quietway" from Waterloo to Greenwich).

Oxley Close / Abercorn Way
What appears on the map to be the spine road of this housing estate is in fact broken up into several short sections, each separately named with its own independent access from Rolls Road. This is the eastern end of Oxley Close where it joins Abercorn Way. The barriers are 'permeable' to allow cyclists and pedestrians along the full length of the road, part of the London Cycle Network.
The estate is on the site of the former Bricklayers Arms railway goods yard.

The Phoenix School, Marlborough Grove, South Bermondsey
This primary school with its distinctive pink and blue cladding (is that intended to imply separation of girls and boys?) was originally called the Eveline Lowe School. It serves the adjacent Avondale Square estate opened in 1962. The school opened in 1967, designed by David and Mary Medd for the Department of Education and Science in partnership with the Inner London Education Authority.
The school was listed grade 2 in 2006 (list entry number 1391693) because it "marks an important phase in post-war educational ideas and design, for which it has special historic interest." See also Image
