Large oaks on the right of the path which ascends north-east from Elder Road, a reverse of this view: TQ3271 : Norwood Park (15). A council sign has the following details:
"The name of the park is a reminder that this high ground was once completely cloaked with trees and was part of the ‘Great North Wood’ which covered over 1,400 acres of the old county of Surrey. Over time the North Wood was gradually lost to housing, fields and roads, and by the end of the C18th it had gone completely in Lambeth. Norwood Park was officially opened to the public in 1911, and contains a splendid mix of trees, a wildlife area, playground, games court and padding pool.”
