There was little need for state education in Forest Hill during the 19th century, when the numerous private schools catered for the middle classes and the church schools for the working classes. However, the many smaller houses built south of Stanstead Road in the 1890s, of which these in Elsinore Road are typical, overstreched the churches. The London County Council stepped in with the Kilmorie Road School, built in 1903. It was damaged during World War II, but has been restored.

The last substantial part of Forest Hill to be built was the area between Stanstead Road and Perry Hill, which was the furthest from the station. Kilmorie Road, seen here, dates from the 1890s, when modest terraces had become the standard, rather than the detached and semi-detached houses of Forest Hill's more oppulent days. The view is towards Stanstead Road.

The Woodlands Estate was originally part of a wood called Willowise. Around 1842, 10 acres of this estate were sold in equal parts to two publicans, Jeremiah Woolard and John Grove. Each built a house for his own residence and over the next 50 years nine more houses were built on the estate and let, mostly on short-term leases. This house was built in the 1870s and was given the name of 'Ormonde'. It was extended and its name changed to Kingsland in the mid 1920s. In 1967 it was demolished to be replaced by two bungalows (Nos 122 and 124). This photograph was taken on 22 October 1966.
