Village Green, Woodcote: A rustic view, but still within the London Borough of Croydon. Woodcote is a posh suburb laid out by William Webb in 1901-20.

Rotary Field, Purley The field is open to the public, and is used as a fairground periodically, and also for firework displays. The course of the primitive Croydon, Merstham and Godstone Railway, a public horse-drawn railway, crosses the field about half-way up, (where the line of trees is seen).
