Morden: Hexham Road, St Helier Estate
Hexham Road is on the large St Helier Estate, built between 1928 and 1936 by the then London County Council (LCC), on land formerly owned by Westminster Abbey, for the re-housing of people from run-down inner London areas. The estate was named in honour of Lady St Helier, who was an LCC Alderman from 1910 to 1927. To commemorate the area's historic ownership, the roads are named in alphabetical order after Monasteries and Abbeys starting in the north-west with Aberconway Road and ending with Woburn Road in the south-east. All the road names on this particular area of the estate begin with the letters G (Garendon and Glastonbury) or H (Halesowen, Hartland, Hexham, and Hunston) or I (Iona) or K (Keynsham and Kirksted).

Sutton: A217 Reigate Avenue railway bridge
The bridge carries the railway line between Sutton Common and St Helier stations over the A217 here. The footbridge beyond is the one at Glastonbury Road. The white line marking crew have had a whale of a time here including a give way triangle at the tactile paving.

A217 Reigate Avenue (1)
This was taken from

Morden: Love Lane / Forest Road railway bridge
The bridge carries the railway line between Sutton Common and St Helier stations over Love Lane / Forest Road here. The road name changes at the bridge, and the photographer is standing on the Forest Road side.
The boundary between the London Boroughs of Merton (to the left) and Sutton (to the right) runs down the road through the bridge. The two white posts by the bridge abutments are boundary markers for the former local government arrangements. The post on the left demarcates the boundary between the former Municipal Boroughs of Sutton & Cheam to the left and Merton & Morden to the right including the bridge, while the one on the right indicates the boundary between Carshalton and Sutton & Cheam again. Resurfacing work and subsidence around the first post has resulted in the loss of the letter M in Merton so the post actually reads "ERTON & MORDEN"!
This is the same viewpoint as Noel's
Image from July 2005. The only apparent changes are that the graffiti on the bridge has thankfully been painted over and the circular plate at the bridge soffit, possibly a height warning sign, has disappeared.

Sutton: A217 Glastonbury Road footbridge
The footbridge enables pedestrians to get from one side of the A217 Reigate Avenue to the other. The footbridge is marked on the OS 1:50,000 scale mapping, and Glastonbury Road is to the left.
(You should perhaps know that it is a London Borough of Sutton Byelaw that no person shall, without reasonable excuse,
(a) climb upon or hang from any bridge to which this byelaw applies; or
(b) aid, abet counsel or procure such an act by another.)

Sutton: Kedeston Court, Hurstcourt Road
The inscription in the stone tablet in the centre of the main façade of the block of flats reads:
S & C
1950
I am guessing therefore that these flats were originally built by the former Sutton & Cheam Council.
