Gates to Kingswood House, Kingswood Drive, East Dulwich
The gateway is at the head of the old drive to Kingswood House, now at the heart of the 1950s Kingswood Estate. An OS map of 1895 shows a lodge to the south (left) of the gates. Kingswood Drive turned sharply uphill (behind the camera) and joined College Road as at present. Things had changed: on a map of 1875 College Road was Church Road. A short spur off Church Road went down to these gates. The name 'Kingswood' is carved on the right-hand gate pillar
Image The church referred to was St Stephen's, up on the hill to the east of Sydenham Hill station. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/events-culture-and-heritage/explore-culture-in-southwark/heritage-and-local-history/historic-southwark/kingswood-house?chapter=2

View southward at the junction (on left) with Fountain Drive. Ahead is the BBC Transmitter mast - and I'm nearly home from work: I will not then go jogging, like the man on the right.

Surfaces, playspace, Kingswood Estate, East Dulwich
While grass is not a bad surface for a small child to fall on, it gets worn to stones and mud, as here. Rubber crumb surfacing is now very widely used beneath play equipment. Although expensive, it's colourful, free-draining and slightly bouncy on impact and underfoot. In the foreground is a clean and simple brick edging to a tarmac path. Not just for looks, it prevents the tarmac from spreading and cracking.
