Sunset - One Tree Hill - c1965
This view would be very different in 2007 following the construction of Canary Wharf and many other high-rise buildings. Picture scanned from a rather dusty old slide.

One path leads up towards the road and a rose garden, while a lower path leads to the road as well.

Honor Oak Reservoir
The Aquarius Golf Club was opened in 1912, making use of the land over this underground reservoir. The course commands good views over London. Canary Wharf can be seen here, with the reservoir valve house.

Old railway track in Brenchley Gardens
The London, Chatham & Dover Railway opened the line from Nunhead to Crystal Palace High Level in 1865 to serve the Crystal Palace, which had been rebuilt on Sydenham Hill some ten years previously. Unfortunately the Crystal Palace was in decline as a visitor attraction by the end of the 19th century and this, coupled with the fact that the line passed through an area which was largely undeveloped well into the 20th century, meant that the line had very low passenger usage. It finally closed in 1954. Once dismantling of the track had been completed, the entire railway land between Nunhead and Crystal Palace was bought by the London County Council who passed it on to local councils for housing and open space development. This was the origin of the attractive open space known as Brenchley Gardens. This view looks northwards along the line of the old track towards Nunhead. Honor Oak station was back on the other side of Forest Hill Road - see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/h/honor_oak/index.shtml. The Green Chain Walk now passes through Brenchley Gardens on its way to Nunhead Cemetery - see http://content.tfl.gov.uk/green-chain-walk-section-11.pdf
