The original St Faith's church dating from 1909, superseded by the newer church adjacent, and now used as a community centre.

Suburban station on Red Post Hill. The fingerpost pointing to Dulwich Village and Dulwich Picture Gallery is one of a number in the area.

Also showing the corner of Stradella Road.

This ornate building has a pub downstairs and a gym upstairs.

3 different roads converge on each side of the bridge, making it quite a bottleneck. The direction sign is not easy to read at this size -- it shows Crystal Palace and Tulse Hill ahead, and Brixton to the right. Brockwell Park is just beyond the bridge.

An Orpington to Victoria train is on its way into the station. The right fork of this rail junction goes towards Sutton or Wimbledon and is used by First Capital Connect trains. The bridge ahead is the one you see at street level in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/407202 The mast at top dead centre of shot is the TV mast at Crystal Palace. Graffiti "artists" have been busy -- I'll bet they didn't do a Health and Safety Risk Assessment before painting started. Not least amongst the hazards would have been a 750 volt live rail just inches from where their feet were.

Dist:1.0km south<br/>All Saints church on Rosendale Road, one of the largest churches in London, was virtually destroyed by fire in 2000 but has been completely rebuilt (allegedly the largest insurance claim ever paid out on a church). Photographed here towards the end of the rebuild; it reopened in March 2006.
