Path through the Bluebell woods

Mandarin Duck on the River Peck SE22 by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: The River Peck rises on One Tree Hill in Honor Oak and runs down the hill in a culvert to emerge at Harris Girls’ Academy. Priory Farm once stood on this site in Homestall Road. Later, girls at Honor Oak School (built 1931), used to ‘jump the stream’; pupils at Harris Academy probably still do so. The river then runs beneath Colyton Road to Peckham Rye Park where it reappears in all its glory in artificial yet picturesquely landscaped channels as it runs across the entire park from east to west.

And whom I to argue with their judgements on such a fine array of robins?
