As seen from Ravensbourne Park. On the junction of Cranbrook Road (on the left) and Brookmill Road (on the right). Strangely no names or signs, had to find name from the web.

This small lake in a public park is (according to an information board) fed by water from the adjacent river, but it appeared extremely stagnant with a particularly bad growth of algae on the surface. Compare the same lake in [[1042210]], later in the (previous) year.

The blue information board just inside the gates calls it Brookmill Park.

The crossing is near the junction with Lind Street.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The River Ravensbourne flows through south-east London and enters the Thames at Deptford Creek. The Docklands Light Railway follows the river between Lewisham and Deptford. Here the river and DLR train are seen from Brookmill Park, SE14, with waterworks behind. The view is to the east, with the river flowing from right to left.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The River Ravensbourne used to run in a concrete channel through Brookmill Park but as part of the construction of the Lewisham extension of the Docklands Light Railway in 1999, the river was given a more 'natural' winding course,whilst the DLR used the old course of the river. It was an inspired solution and both the park and the DLR benefited. Brookmill Park has been expanded over the years although some of the park was lost with the DLR extension.
