Rush Pond, Chislehurst, Kent

This pond, which derives from old gravel workings, has no natural feed from any spring or stream. In recent years it has almost dried out as the water table in the area has dropped. However, active conservation work is in progress which should see the pond restored to its former very attractive appearance within a couple of years.

Open space opposite Edgebury Primary School, New Eltham, Kent

Trees have been planted along the edge of this attractive open space. The bus is on Route 162 which has a surprisingly frequent service.

Saving the planet in New Eltham

The householder at 146 Imperial Way, New Eltham, Kent has wisely had solar panels installed on his roof: if recent energy price increases are considered, he could have made a very wise move. Meanwhile, a pensioner waits for a bus on Route 162.

Railway overbridge, Sidcup, Kent

Originally this bridge, which adjoins Sidcup station, was so low that it could only be passed by single-deck buses. But following World War 2, the roadway was lowered to allow the passage of double-deckers, as seen here on the long Route 229 to Thamesmead Town Centre.

Mortuary chapel, Chislehurst Cemetery

Many mortuary chapels are very pleasant buildings - some are outstanding, but this one with lovely spring flowers in bloom in front must lighten the hearts of all who visit this place.
