IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Morden Way, SUTTON, SM3 9PB

On the line from Sutton to Wimbledon.

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.

The boundary between the London Boroughs of Merton (to the left) and Sutton (to the right) runs down the middle of the green.

From its junction with Sutton Common Road

The area of Sutton Common Park was formerly 'glebe' land administered for the benefit of the people of Sutton. In September 1926, Sutton Urban District Council Finance and Parliamentary Committee recommended a definitive offer of £4,000 for the land now known as Sutton Common Park. This was purchased in 1927. For the history and people's recollections of Sutton Common Park see http://www.foscp.org.uk/new/history.htm This view looks across the park towards Hartland Way.
