So not Keston or Plumstead after all, but Shirley!

Aha! Windmills: Upminster, Wimbledon, Shirley and now presumably on to Barnet Gate. Good one!

It's quite a quixotic trip you're on, from Upminster to Wimbledon to Shirley and (I'm willing to bet) finally Barnet. I wish I could follow you for the final installment, but it's midnight in Japan and I need to sleep. Thank you for the puzzle!

(It was the "litter-free green space" that gave the game away. That just HAD to be the Wombles, and everything else followed.)

Well done Alfie. BP lived in the Wimbledon mill while he wrote Scouting for Boys (you would be arrested if you wrote something with that title now!).

Post haste is presumably a cryptic reference to the the windmill which is located in Postmill Close. However it isn't a postmill. The road name refers to the previous windmill on the site - or someone just cocked up, take your pick.

Previously surrounded by John Ruskin Sixth Form College.

I love windmills, and remember the Shirley one from my childhood. We have two in Reigate, one is used as a house at Wray Common, and the other one is used as a Church and is in the grounds of Reigate Golf Club. You have spurred me on to go out and take some photos. Thanks.
