Waterloo - Salisbury train passing Raynes Park. View eastward, towards Wimbledon and Waterloo: ex-LSW Waterloo - Woking and the West main line; junction of the line to Epsom, Dorking etc. - controlled by the signalbox behind the locomotive. The 18.54 Waterloo - Salisbury semi-fast is headed by SR rebuilt Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34048 'Crediton' (built 11/46, rebuilt 3/59, withdrawn 3/66). The view is from the Up main platform, Raynes Park having Up and Down sides staggered. [One of my few colour photographs of railways in those days].

Lake on Cannon Hill Common. View northward, off Cannon Hill Lane. [It seems to have no inlet or outlet, so where does the water come from?]

Across Cannon Hill Common to Wimbledon - late summer. View NE from near Cannon Hill Lane (and site of former Cannon Hill House, demolished in the 1930's). Wimbledon village is in the distance.
