Contrails over Upper Norwood, London
A few years ago, visits to family in Camberwell left a memory of the soundscape – sirens of ambulances heading for King's College Hospital, and the roar of low-flying passenger jets heading for Heathrow. Perhaps the airspace became congested because, the family having moved to Crystal Palace, the jets followed, though higher-flying over the hill, thankfully. This early morning view is towards precipitous Jasper Road.

Cast iron parish boundary marker, Jasper Passage, Upper Norwood, southeast London
Dated 1870, its lower part is now below the paved surface but it appears to denote Camberwell Parish and perhaps responsibility for this urban footpath. It's assumed to mark a boundary: the boundaries of four modern boroughs meet up on the Crystal Palace hill: Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth and Southwark, which takes in Camberwell.

Boundary marker, Jasper Passage
The wall and land beyond it lay in Camberwell Parish when the marker was erected, the photographer and land behind in Lambeth. The same boundary persists today, dividing the London Boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth respectively.

Garden fence, Jasper Road, Crystal Palace, south London
The houses are descending Farquhar Road. Crystal Palace village centre is on a summit. Approaches to it are surprisingly steep, and this spur of Jasper Road is no exception. The gradient is estimated as 1 in 5 in old money.
