Geograph - photograph every grid square

I took this shot from the gates at the entrance to the water-works - subsequently demolished to make way for residential development. On the left are the old Barn Elms allotments, soon to be re-sited further south and west. Over the wall to the right were some minor water-works buildings, and beyond them the Harrods site. The access road immediately in front of the camera was almost exactly aligned with Merthyr Terrace - part of a white building at the corner of the Terrace and Castelnau can be glimpsed directly ahead.

The alignment of the access road was subsequently adopted for the south-eastward extension of Trinity Church Road. The spot where I was standing now corresponds - I believe - to the intersection of Trinity Church Road and Cartwright Way. Some of the crab apple trees may still be there.

I can't be sure of the exact date of this shot, but it may well have been taken in October 1992.
