Question by Brian B: Are there any photos that exist of the old Victorian houses in Sydenham Hill Woods before they were abandoned? In Sydenham Hill Woods, south east London, there are a number of abandoned Victorian-era houses that have almost crumbled away to nothing (save for an odd wall or part of a cellar).
