The centre of the Upper Norwood triangle used to be given over to light industry: joinery, engineering and so forth. Some works survive, but much of it now is made up of small housing estates, various cul-de-sac lanes into the triangle giving onto a network of pedestrian paths. Here Ovett Close coming in from the west meets Brunel Close coming in from the east and the two overlap; two no.24s face each other across the paving, to the despair of the local postmen.
