 Carnegie Library (though appears 'taller' than I remember it, perhaps this 'aerial shot' heightens the effect of the lower-floor being 'set-in' below road level?) |

| Ruskin Park, extending to Denmark Hill, Kings College Hospital and almost to the Salvation Army's training college by Denmark Hill Station - out of this shot. |

| Pre-fabs to replace WWII-damaged housing - in use until clearances of the area for the new school on Heron Road and park on Milkwood Road. |

| Heron Road, leading up from Milkkwood Road, to 'Mission' on corner of Lowden Road. The housing on Heron Road included 'pre-fabs' post-WWII until removed to creat the new schools and the open space which became the 'park' area of today. |

| Bomb damage from WWII, leaving numbers 80 and 88 (our home) exposed, with 82, 84 and 86 demolished by the bomb - aimed at the railway lines presumably. (No date known by me for that attack; citation needed, please) |

| 88 Milkwood Road; I lived here from 1946-ish until 1961. Parents stayed until rehoused, and those even-numbered houses demolished to build the Mahatma Gandhi Industrial Estate, when parents moved to Edenbridge, Kent. |

| Milkwood Tavern, public house - notorious for the then-landlord's 'colour-bar' in late 1940s, as reported by the South London Press at the time. |
