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.
