Path in Sunray Gardens
Casino Villa on Denmark Hill was built by John Nash in 1796 for the lawyer, Richard Shaw, who made his fortune from the long trial of Warren Hastings, the Governor-General of India. In the early 20th century the estate had difficulties in finding tenants and the house was demolished in 1906. After the First World War, the Villa’s grounds were used for housing, and the Villa's water gardens were converted into a park, now known as Sunray Gardens. It is a rare survival of the work of the landscape designer, Humphrey Repton, and includes the pond just out of the picture to the left here, winding wooded paths and flowerbeds. The houses are in Elmwood Road.

Herne Hill: Elfindale Road, SE24
Elfindale is one of several residential roads that were built in Edwardian times in the triangle of land between Half Moon Lane and the road known as Herne Hill. On the 1899 Ordnance Survey map the area is virtually empty with only the two roads parallel to Elfindale, Holmdene Avenue and Hollingbourne Road, being shown and then with only a few houses. By 1916 the map shows the whole estate from Danecroft Road south-westwards as being developed.
