Playing fields off Timber Pond Road
The playing fields are close to Bacon College, so may belong to (or at least be used by) the school.

Ex Fisher Football club house, Salter Road, Rotherhithe, London, SE16
Built with the redevelopment of the Surrey Docks in the early 1980's. Later became a school for wayward children (so I understand) and gutted by fire prior to 2005. Fisher Club, that originated in Fair Street, Bermondsey, London, SE1, was founded by a Roman Catholic priest for boys of the area.

Lagado Mews, Rotherhithe
Typical of the modern (1990s-2000s) housing built in the former docklands on the Rotherhithe peninsula. The road is surfaced with brick paviours, a material that looks more pleasing visually than the usual bitumen macadam but is less rough than traditional setts.

Telecoms mast, Rotherhithe
The location of this mast - which looks like those used by mobile phone companies - is unusual in that it is neither on a hill, nor on top of a building, nor close to a main road. It is only a few hundred metres from the Thames so it might be intended to cover shipping.

Bacon's College, Rotherhithe
Bacon's College was opened in 1991 as an all-ability 11-19 school built in the heart of the London Docklands on a 'Brown Field' site. [information from the school website: http://www.baconscollege.co.uk/ ]

Utility building in Globe Pond Road
I photographed this building from the footpath running behind it, so could not see any information boards and have been unable to find reference to it online. The use of vortex shedders on such low chimneys seems unusual.

Small open space off Salter Road
This secluded green spot lies between Salter Road (or rather, an unnamed side road of it) and the footpath from Lagonda Mews to Russia Dock Woodland. I presume it is public space as there are no notices to the contrary.

Disused golf driving range, Rotherhithe
The driving range is off Salter Road. This view is from a footpath between the range and the school playing fields. The high fence that spoils the view was obviously needed to keep golf balls from hitting users of the path. As of 2010 the range was derelict, with signs on the fence warning that unofficial use of the site was prohibited.
