Pond in Myrna Close Valley
The railway line from Wimbledon to West Croydon opened in 1855. In 1868, the Tooting, Wimbledon & Sutton line was opened, and a branch from Tooting via Merton Abbey to the Wimbledon to West Croydon line at Merton Park was also opened. The last passenger train on the Tooting to Merton Park line ran on 2nd March 1929, and after that only steam freight trains and the occasional excursion used the line. The junction at the Tooting end was severed in 1934 so that the line was worked as a long siding from Merton Park. All traffic finally ceased in May 1975 and the tracks between Merton Park and Tooting were removed soon afterwards. Part of the old trackbed has been preserved here and turned into a linear park, with a stream and ponds, as well as a path throughout. The park is known as Myrna Close Valley. Further west at Merton Park another section of the old line has been preserved and is known as Merton Park Green Walks - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5289871
