Croydon Waterworks cover, Church Road SE19
This metal cover, judging by its size, conceals a stopcock. 1864 is very early in the life of this suburb: the Crystal Palace had only recently moved to this hilltop site, provoking development in which villas were laid out around it.

Woodview Mews, Church Road, Upper Norwood
Behind 273 and 275 Church Road is this 8-year old development of flats and houses; the six timber-clad frontages represent 11 dwellings. The side porch of 273 shows on the left. As I was framing a shot a local resident appeared and asked if I was an architectural photographer or a bailiff. Bailiffs in Upper Norwood? Who would have thought – but it was a period of suddenly high interest rates.

Upper Beulah Hill, Upper Norwood
A cyclist (only one!) turns the corner into Church Road, which runs level along a ridge to the Crystal Palace 'triangle'. At weekends the area is heaving with cyclists – getting up here is a challenge for the legs and the gears. There are any number of steep climbs to choose from.
