Aerial photo taken from the CP TV mast in 1961!!
Note:
*Different building on the corner of Sydenham Hill before the hotel?
*Some smaller Sydenham Hill houses now gone, including what RebelMC called the "Ghost House".
*Railway line and sub station running through the Hollow Combe woods.
*Hillcrest Road/Close mansions
*Extra villa on Crystal Palace park road?
*In the distance: white building at the entrance of what was to become Beaulieu Ave.
*Before High Level Drive tower blocks/council houses: trees, trees and more trees!
What other stuff can you notice?

In the bottom picture St Philip's Church in Wells Park Road (or Wells Road as it was called then) is clearly visible as, too, is the United Reform Church at the end of Jews Walk (where Grove Centre is now).
