For the historical background to Cherrywood, please go to Opinions pages.
The photos below were taken on 1st September 2002. They show a 360 degree rotation from a point in the middle of the wood.
Before Selley started building, the view SE would have seen golfers through the trees. The boundary behingd the West, NorthWest and Northern images is the historic boundary of the Parishes of Merton and Morden, and, before that, between the Brixton and Croydon Hundreds.
The old peoples home, lying across the Western corner is built on the site of the original spring which provided an occasional stream down the ancient boundary. Construction has altered that, so that the water now comes up in a number of smaller spots throughout that side of the wood.
