Fox Hill in the snow
The steepest part of the hill (20%), where every hard winter you can guarantee that a car will lose control going downhill and slide into the sign at the entrance to Jenson Way, and/or another car going uphill will lose adhesion and be abandoned by the driver for however many hours it takes for the thaw to set in.

Fox Hill in the snow
The building furthest off is the old Fox Lane Farm, one of the few buildings on the hill that would already have been standing when Pissarro painted the hill in snow (a painting to be found in the National Gallery and reproduced on a lot of walls in SE19).

Fox Hill: Penge boundary sign
Unusually, the border between administrative areas here runs not down the middle of the road but along the garden frontage. The road and houses on its southern side lies in the borough of Croydon; the houses and gardens to the north lie in the borough of Bromley. Prior to 1965 this was the border between Croydon in Surrey and the borough of Penge in Kent. Penge in its turn was, originally, a detached portion ("hamlet") of the parish of Battersea, an arrangement going back to medieval land ownership patterns.

Memorial tree for Bob Godfrey, Fox Hill SE19
The little sapling seen here was planted in memory of the animator Bob Godfrey (1921-2013) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Godfrey], according to a notice pinned to the protective fence that has now fallen off. It replaced the large oak seen leaning over the road in
Image, which was taken down on safety grounds in 2013.
