Westow Hill, LONDON, SE19 1SB

Busy suburban crossroads in South London where four roods meet on the hilltop: Anerley Hill, Church Road, Westow Hill and Crystal Palace Parade. The large building in the centre is The Cambridge pub. Geraniums and petunias in boxes on top of railings brighten up the scene.

Tucked into a wedge-shaped site at one point of the Norwood triangle, one of several pubs that cluster round the junction (once known as the Vicar's Oak) at the south end of Crystal Palace Parade.

Classic late nineteenth century ornamental tiles, seen on many pubs of that age.

A vehicle has damaged itself and destroyed a bike stand. This otherwise pleasant street of shops, restaurants and cafés is flooded with traffic including buses at all hours. The air quality cannot be good.

A poster for a house music event bears witness to the recently-passed New Year, with all its millennium celebrations. At this time the three roads of the Upper Norwood triangle were all two-way: the triangle turned into a one-way system two or three years after this. The traffic in this picture is chiefly heading in the direction that would become the obligatory one after the street became one-way: however, a few parked cars pointing the other way betray the fact that it is still possible to drive along here westwards.

At this time the three roads of the Upper Norwood triangle were all two-way: the triangle turned into a one-way system two or three years after this. At the same time, the roundabout at the top of Anerley Hill, seen on the distant direction sign, became a crossroads controlled by traffic lights.

This can be seen on the wall of Pedder's estate agency 'Selling South East London' in Westow Hill. It records that the Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) stayed on this site 1870-71. For the context and more information, see Image Photo number 7589179.
