Vipes & Triangle - Re Pissarro's painting of Lordship Lane Railway Station & the linked 1930s map of the area, the green area to the right of the Railway Station is not the site of the Horniman Triangle Play Park which is hidden from view. Pissarro has painted the hedge that ran down Sydenham Hill to the Railway Station at the foot of he hill. The Horniman Triangle site is located further to the right of this hedge. Past the Railway Station to its right are some London Road houses which were still lived in when Frederick Horniman moved into the area. If you look at the Forest Hill & Sydenham book referred to in Local Books section, there are 2 old photos of the Horniman Triangle taken looking downhill from the Sydenham Hill & Sydenham Rise junction.
