Access for the Agency
The metal gate is where maintenance teams from the Environment Agency can get down safely into the concrete channel of the River Graveney.
The river has just emerged from a longish culvert under a railway embankment which needs to be regularly inspected and kept clear.

The River Graveney
A tributary of the River Wandle, this stream has just undergone a name change.
Upstream of the culvert seen mid shot here, it's called the Norbury Brook.
A classic urban river in a dismal concrete trench, it has fared better than some others in that it is still above ground.

Former church hall, Guildersfield Road
Designed by Ernest George and Alfred Yeates, 1898. George lived locally and his firm built a lot in the area. They used a lot of Dutch motifs, witness the prominent gable here. Grade II listed.
The hall is adjacent to the former vicarage to St Andrew's Church (also by George) which stood to the south-west of the vicarage until it was gutted by fire in 1992 and subsequently demolished (replaced by new housing). The former church hall now houses a GPs' practce.
