Looking east from Knight's Hill. The road is named after a now-demolished large house called Burton Dassett. These houses were probably built in the second half of the C19th. The development of West Norwood began with the breaking up of Lord Thurlow's estate after his death in 1806, but it accelerated greatly with the arrival of the Crystal Palace railway in 1856; between 1851 and 1901 the population of the district of St. Luke's, Norwood increased from around 4,000 to around 36,000. In the distance are trees in Norwood Park and the Crystal Palace television mast.
