Streatham Cemetery is a large cemetery with a notable number of interesting and historic monuments to find in the large area it's spread over. A good way to spend an hour or two as part of a day exploring here and several other cemeteries in the area.
The Signalman posing on the steps of his Saxby & Farmer Type 1b signal box at Streatham Hill, looks more like a Bobbie with his smart uniform, which is what they were known as in the early Victorian era of train control. Opened in 1873, the box contained an 18 lever Saxby & Farmer frame with levers at different pitches for the signals and points. This photo, taken from a glass slide, must date from the 1880-90s as the box was replaced by a new structure in 1898. Note the Stroudley four-wheeled coaches in the background.

Designed by James Wild and completed in 1841 this church in the Italian Gothic style with its campanile is a startling site on London's South Circular Road.
Was a little strange seeing this fox happily going about his business in the afternoon. Needs to be careful of the annual Streatham fox hunt that sees them cavorting through the back gardens and allotments of the Lambeth countryside.

The busy inner South London route 319 linking Streatham Hill (Telford Avenue) with Battersea, Chelsea and Sloane Square was one of the many TfL bus routes which went over to all-electric buses during the course of 2021 with the route being operated by some of the fleet of Enviro400EV (MMC) City electric vehicles normally allocated onto routes 133 and 33 since their introduction in early 2017. In this view HA 23 is seen at the Sloane Square terminus of route 319 outside the iconic buildings of the Royal Court Theatre on the pleasant early afternoon of Monday 13th September 2021. Just visible passing HA 23 on the left of the photo is part of Tower Transit's MV 38233 from Westbourne Park (X) bus garage on the course of its southward journey on route 452 from Kensal Rise down to Battersea and Vauxhall bus station.

The Odeon, former Astoria, Streatham. The original oriental interior has been broken up into several smaller screens, but elements of the design survive, including the ceiling in screen 1. It now has 8 small cinemas in the building, up from the 3 screens when this photo was taken. The design, by Edward A Stone, has similarities to his Prince Edward Theatre, which opened the same year. It became the Odeon Theatre in 1961, retaining the Astoria name after being taken over in 1939, and was tripled in 1979. From 1990 further subdivisions and additions occurred, including one 196 seat cinema on the stage. The facade of the building is now completely obscured by trees.

Safeway ... This UK supermarket chain (no-longer related to the US chain of the same name) was bought by rival Morrisons in 2005. Most large stores were rebranded and the smaller ones sold to rivals such as Somerfield.
Despite being in what would appear to be a good retail location, this particular store was closed in 2006. Amazingly after more then two years of closure the branding at the now derelict Streatham store has remained, as can be seen by this shot taken on Sunday 19th October 2008.
