	Mount Pond – when I was a kid it was said that plague victims were buried on the island
	Mont pond again
	The Bandstand
	The café by the Bandstand, somewhere around the building to the right old men (at least they seemed old to me) used to play with a giant draughts set on a board painted onto the tarmac in the 1950’s
	View towards St. Barnabas’ Church – The humps in the ground here (one can just be made out in front of the church) are WW2 air-raid shelters – I the 1950s they were tarmac covered, grass has grown over since
	St Barnabas’ Church – In the early 1950’s the edges of Clapham Common were lined with prefabs housing those whose homes had been bombed This link to a photo of some prefabs in Bromley shows the same type.
