Norbury Brook alongside Thornton Heath Recreation Ground
Norbury Brook rises near Addiscombe and passes alongside Heavers Meadow at Selhurst before reaching this point. Further downstream it becomes the River Graveney and eventually flows into the River Wandle at Earlsfield - see http://www.geograph.ie/photo/2893879 Much of the Norbury Brook/River Graveney is in concrete culvert as seen here. Thornton Heath Recreation Ground was one of the earlier open spaces to be acquired by Croydon Council The first part was acquired in 1884 to serve built-up Thornton Heath, and a further part added in 1891. The footpath across the middle from Melfort Avenue to Bridport Road marks the divide between the two land acquisitions. There used to be a bandstand and in 1948 the park had to be closed for nine months to reinstate the grass as the park had been so well used.
