TQ3370 : Junction of Fox Hill, Tudor Road and Lansdowne Place, Upper Norwood

taken 13 years ago, near to Penge, Bromley, England

Junction of Fox Hill, Tudor Road and Lansdowne Place, Upper Norwood
Junction of Fox Hill, Tudor Road and Lansdowne Place, Upper Norwood
Fox Hill comes in from the bottom right of the photograph and exits left. At the top of the climb, Lansdowne Place goes away in the direction the photographer is facing, whilst Tudor Road comes in from the right behind the trees.
A direction marker for the Capital Ring long-distance path can be seen at the top of the climb, directing walkers along Tudor Road and the further portion of Fox Hill.
The nearer section of Fox Hill carries the boundary between the London Boroughs of Bromley and Croydon (previously between the counties of Kent and Surrey respectively). Unusually, the boundary runs not down the middle of the road, but along the property frontages on the far side of the road. The boundary continues up Lansdowne Place and a metal boundary marker TQ3370 : Boundary marker, junction of Lansdowne Place and Tudor Road, Upper Norwood can be seen to the left of the green Capital Ring sign. At the time that the metal boundary post shown here was erected, the land on the Kent side of the boundary (in this photograph, the right side), later the Urban District of Penge, was a detached portion of the parish of Battersea, whilst that in which the photographer is standing was part of the parish of Croydon.
