If you walked downn The Bridle Road from Plough Lane and crossed over, the Gated estate was Rose Walk. |

This is a shot taken looking north east from above Silver Lane Woodcote looking over Foxley Lane towards Croydon Aerodrome. Middle of shot is about the junction of The Bridle Road with Plough Lane. This is a confirmed identification in that everything fits. There are few large aircraft hangars in the UK in 1926. The gated roads in the exclusive housing in the foreground is also unusual. The roads all fit the photo. It is a while since I was able to identify an unidentified photo. Whoop. |

It is early days but this looks to be Croydon Aerodrome. The sign on the hangar looks to be ADC Aircraft Ltd. as seen in photograph EPW025102 |
