Shops on Charlton Road (3)
Compare with 1541720 taken 16 months earlier. Even in that short time there have been changes: the opticians (2nd unit from left) has changed its name from Ray Small to Page & Small, and the off-licence (4th from left) has been taken over by the Nisa chain. The buildings were also being renovated at this time.

Caution (children playing)
This is a non-standard roadsign. It probably dates from when the nearby Cherry Orchard estate was built (I have yet to find a date for it but probably 1960s). The red of the child and the warning triangle have faded to the point of being almost invisible to passing motorists.

Shops on Charlton Road (2)
See
Image for a view from the other end of the parade. The buildings have attractive architectural detail at first and scond floor level that are spoilt by the modern plastic shop signs below.

Bus stop and phone on Charlton Road
The bus stop here serves routes 53 to Whitehall; 54 to Elmers End; 422 to North Greenwich. A 422 is seen heading the other way to Bexleyheath. Beyond that the Pelican crossing at the top of Victoria Way is flashing amber.
The phone box is of a recent design that allows customers to send e-mails and texts (although I have not seen anyone use it for that purpose).

Shops on Charlton Road
The attractive architecture of this parade of shops is spoiled by the necessity of steel security shutters when they are closed (as here, on a Sunday).

Mascalls Road - new speed markings
One of several suburban streets north of Charlton Road that became a 20mph zone in January 2014. But it is a narrow street with a blind corner a little below this, and traffic would rarely have been exceeding 20mph anyway.

No post today
I photographed this "GR" postbox on Charlton Road on Christmas Day, which explains the lack of traffic on what is normally a busy main road, as well as no postal collection of course.

Cherry Orchard, Charlton
The name strictly only applies to the short street in this view with one housing block each side, but is used locally for the whole of the estate to which it gives access. The estate was formerly run by Greenwich Council but now by the Charlton Triangle housing association.
