St Valery, Beulah Hill
A large Victorian villa, now flats, by local architectural rebel Sextus Dyball (see also: Image]) in 1880. Built of yellow stock brick with decorative bands of red brick and with a prominent tower. Grade II listed.
Dyball was a speculative builder-architect who designed a number of buildings in the area. Jonathan Meades wrote of him that he was "a local builder to whom all devotees of inspired ugliness and sinister gracelessness will be forever indebted. Did Dyball know what he was doing? Did he have any idea of the sensations that his creations would provoke? It is improbable that he was out to shock. Rather, it seems that he ... subscribed to an aesthetic system that, although not far from us, feels chronologically, seems unfathomably distant – a vestige of an alien civilisation."

Upper Norwood Recreation Ground
Upper Norwood Recreation Ground was acquired by the Council in 1890 from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for about £6,500. It was opened by the Mayor who had come directly from opening the new Wandle Park. It was said at the time that one of the best things about it was the views of the Crystal Palace. The recreation ground contains one of the headwaters of the River Effra which now runs underground, but it was still visible at the start of the 20th century. Legend says that Queen Elizabeth I came up the river in her barge to where Hermitage Road now stands although this is a little hard to imagine. There are fine views towards Battersea Power Station and up to the Crystal Palace ridge and TV mast. The road on the left is Eversley Road. The Capital Ring crosses the recreation ground.
