Cornfield annuals at Goose Green
These flowers brightened up the eastern end of Goose Green. The blue of cornflowers was particularly prominent. East Dulwich Road can be seen across the other side of the green.

St John the Evangelist Church, Goose Green
The church was consecrated in 1865. The architect was Charles Baily who designed the church in the Gothic style of the Middle Ages. It was very badly damaged by incendiary bombs during the Second World War when the roof, much of the stained glass and internal decorations were lost. The tower, spire and apse though survived as did the clock which dates from 1864.
St John's was restored after the War by J. B. Sebastian Comper, the son of Sir Ninian Comper who designed many of the features used in the restoration of building, including much of the Lady Chapel.

Mural at Goose Green
This mural is on a house at the eastern end of Goose Green, East Dulwich. The wording is 'Such were the joys', 'Remember William Blake' and over the archway are the words 'Vision of Angels'. The church is St John the Evangelist on Goose Green. Pam Fray says that the tiger in the bottom right corner refers to Blake's poem "Tyger, tyger burning bright...". The Pelican in the left hand corner refers to the publisher of some renowned editions of Blake's work.
The wording between the two parts says "Repainted August 2009 with added Blake poem Echoing Green". The green might well refer to Goose Green and online there is a reference to him as a child in Peckham Rye which is just along the road from Goose Green. Blake was given to having "visions" and Wikipedia states - At the age of eight or ten in Peckham Rye, London, Blake claimed to have seen "a tree filled with angels, bright angelic wings bespangling every bough like stars".
