One of the larger Victorian villas to survive on this road. A typical Victorian array of motifs but, to borrow Pevsner's word, ponderous.
Now flats.

Sydenham Hill Woods
Due to heavy foot-fall, the roots of the giant conifer tree, in the centre of picture, were becoming compacted. The situation was resolved by building a bridge which spans the affected area.
Out of picture, to the right, is a deep hollow. This was, in fact, the site of a WWII bomb which, having failed to explode, had to be dug out.

Garden remnant in Sydenham Hill Wood
The eastern slopes of Sydenham Hill Wood were once the gardens of large Victorian villas built after the Crystal Palace was relocated to upper Sydenham. These houses soon fell into decline and by the second world war were subdivided into flats or had been taken over as institutions like care homes. They were demolished from the 60s onwards and their grounds have reverted to woodland. However, look carefully and there are remnants of the gardens, like this monkey puzzle tree, now grown tall to reach the light in competition with the native trees surrounding it.
