Gipsy Road, West Norwood
Seen from the bottom of Salter's Hill the Two Towers pub and the Budgens store are on Gipsy Road. This is mid-afternoon and a 'lollipop lady' waits for some schoolchildren to turn up so she can show them across the road.

Kingswood School glimpsed from the train
Formerly the London County Council's Salters Hill School. A name plaque faces the railway line at the other end of the building, but trees have to date frustrated my attempts to photograph that.

View from Norwood Park (4)
The park must offer one of the best panoramas in London. A plaque, sponsored by Network Rail and renewed in 2011 to commemorate the park's centenary, records that in 1986 the Greater London Council designated this a Protected Panoramic View. This is the easternmost section, showing the cluster of towers at Canary Wharf. I'm fairly sure the prominent block of flats further right is Dawson's Heights at Dulwich (

Norwood Park (11)
The path runs up from Salter's Hill at the north-east corner of the park. A council sign has the following details:
"The name of the park is a reminder that this high ground was once completely cloaked with trees and was part of the ‘Great North Wood’ which covered over 1,400 acres of the old county of Surrey. Over time the North Wood was gradually lost to housing, fields and roads, and by the end of the C18th it had gone completely in Lambeth. Norwood Park was officially opened to the public in 1911, and contains a splendid mix of trees, a wildlife area, playground, games court and padding pool.”
