14 April 2015 • Looking at the view, it is hard to realise that this tranquil scene is only yards from a very busy thoroughfare – the South Circular Road. The brick-built house seen through the trees stands in a short cul-de-sac called Pond Cottages. There only a few houses on one side of the narrow street – this one, probably dating from early Victorian times, and three very small ones standing next to it. Between the two chimneys in the view can be glimpsed the lone narrow spire of the Victorian church of St Stephen, further south beside College Road.
