On a grey day it resembles offices of the Stasi, but this ugly duckling will transform itself into West Norwood's (swan-like?) leisure centre, housing a swimming pool, gym, dance studio, meeting rooms and GP surgery. It is being built on what was open space next to Norwood Hall, a nondescript, derelict post-war building (and itself a community hall) which has now been demolished. Between Bloom Grove, from where this photo was taken, and the leisure centre runs the railway. Swan phase: Image
