The Prince Imperial Monument

Napoléon, Prince Imperial (Napoléon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte; 16 March 1856 – 1 June 1879). After his father was dethroned in 1870, he moved with his family to England. On his father's death in January 1873, he was proclaimed by the Bonapartist faction as Napoleon IV. In England, he trained as a soldier. Keen to see action, he persuaded the British to allow him to participate in the Anglo-Zulu War. In 1879, serving with British forces, he was killed in a skirmish with a group of Zulus.

Coronation Street

Large swathes of south London showed little or no recognition of the forthcoming coronation of King Charles III, but not so Crown Lane, Chislehurst. Almost every house was decorated and one three-storey house had draped a screen depicting the Buckingham Palace balcony across its whole facade.

Elmstead Woods railway station BR7

Looking north. The station was built in 1902. Just past it, the two twin tracks disappear into tunnels beneath Elmstead Woods. The tunnels are unnecessary from an engineering viewpoint and exist because the Scotts of Sundridge Park would not allow access to their land during construction. In places the tunnels are barely below ground.
