Old sign to St Olave's church, Rowan Road
Although made in the usual pre-Worboys style, when aiming for local buildings these were probably made by the council when using the plain white arrows.

Luff Garden, Streatham Park Cemetery
Streatham Park Cemetery opened as the Great Southern Cemetery in 1909. Up to the Second World War, Streatham Park Cemetery accounted for one fifth of all burials in South London. It is a strange mixture with colourful gardens of remembrance near the entrance in Rowan Road, large mausolea just inside the entrance and a 'street' of even larger mausolea, many to Italians, beyond the war memorial. When I was there, gardeners were busy in the gardens of remembrance and these look neat and tidy. However Darren Beach in 'London's Cemeteries' describes them thus: " The memorial gardens look pretty, but resemble a cross between the Blue Peter Garden and a suburban attempt at a TV-style garden makeover." Much of the rest of the cemetery is quite wild. This is one of the gardens of remembrance, called the Luff Garden.
