<br/>Woodside Fire Station, at 2 Long Lane, was built in 1933 as a sub station of the Croydon County Borough Fire Brigade, replacing a station in Shirley. The site was formerly occupied by a racecourse. In 1965 it was transferred to London.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>The council seems a little obsessed with informing you this is a red route. As well as the sign in the foreground, the next two signs are identical.

Dist:0.9km southeast<br/>This area of London has blossomed with cycle paths since I was at school here in the 1980s, but this is the only cyclist I've seen brave (or mad) enough to use them: the road he's heading down is a dual-carriageway section of the trunk A232. The shop on the left has been a supplier of specialist medical equipment for over 30 years. It used to have a prominent awning "AIDS FOR THE DISABLED" which was appropriate in 1980, but distinctly unfortunate ten years later when it finally got removed.
