IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Telford Close, LONDON, SE19 3AG

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.

Stoney Lane leads in from the south and here meets Telford Close coming in from the east.

The Celestial Church of Christ, founded in Benin in 1947, has its headquarters in Nigeria (http://www.celestialchurch.com/ ). At weekends its members worship here in white robes and hats.

A glance at old-maps.org.uk shows that for decades after the later 19th century the Upper Norwood 'triangle' was a patchwork of lanes, short terraces of small houses, workshops and businesses. Carberry Road may retain something of that character, quite different from the scene in Image, which may date from the years either side of 1980.

A church with a strong sense of authority with French African roots.

Bounded by busy Westow Hill, Westow Street and Church Road, this part of Upper Norwood is known as the Crystal Palace 'triangle'. At its heart is an intimate area of small businesses and 20th-century council-built two-storey houses threaded by a well-used network of footpaths. The view down the close is to St Aubyn's Road Image

In the centre of the 'Crystal Palace Triangle' is a warren of closes and footpaths among two-storey housing. This is one way in on foot. The view is across Church Road. See the wear on the road paint – it's busy.

Three heavily-trafficked, noisy streets intersect to form the Crystal Palace 'triangle' on top of the hill Image Behind the shops, pubs and restaurants is this quiet, leafy, villagey interior of modest two-storey houses, small businesses, trees and gardens, all connected by footpaths and culs-de-sac. A bewildered visitor could not lose their way in a pleasanter spot.
