Cheviot Gardens, a new sheltered-housing type scheme for older people, replacing a previous similar scheme.

Looking roughly north-east from near the junction with Tredwell Road. These houses were probably built in the second half of the C19th. The development of West Norwood began with the breaking up of Lord Thurlow's estate after his death in 1806, but it accelerated greatly with the arrival of the Crystal Palace railway in 1856; between 1851 and 1901 the population of the district of St. Luke's, Norwood increased from around 4,000 to around 36,000.

On the corner of Chapel Road and Knight's Hill, next to some unsightly recycling bins. The inscription reads: "1861 PRESENTED BY E.H. MOSCROP AND A.W. JAFFRAY ERECTED BY THE METROPOLITAN DRINKING FOUNTAIN & CATTLE TROUGH ASSOCIATION"

2 Grade II listed houses on Thornlaw Road. See http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-204707-4-and-6-streatham for more details.

Not a very promising entrance for the church.

Amid the mostly Victorian and Edwardian streets of West Norwood, these two houses stand out somewhat. They were designed by Ernest George and Harold Peto in 1882-83. The tile-hung upper storey, prominent chimneys and white-painted sash windows are common motifs of Arts and Crafts architecture. Grade II listed. George lived in Streatham for some years and designed several buildings in the area.

Looking east down Thornlaw Road from near the junction with Thurlby Road. These houses were probably built in the second half of the C19th. The development of West Norwood began with the breaking up of Lord Thurlow's estate after his death in 1806, but it accelerated greatly with the arrival of the Crystal Palace railway in 1856; between 1851 and 1901 the population of the district of St. Luke's, Norwood increased from around 4,000 to around 36,000.

A house dating probably from the early C19th. The development of West Norwood began with the breaking up of Lord Thurlow's estate after his death in 1806. Much of this initial phase has since been swept away by subsequent development which accelerated over the second half of the C19th and during the C20th, but there are pockets of houses surviving from the early days, mostly around Knight’s Hill, Norwood High Street/Elder Road and the area between them.

These pleasant brick houses probably date from the first half of the C19th. The development of West Norwood began with the breaking up of Lord Thurlow's estate after his death in 1806. Much of this initial phase has since been swept away by subsequent development which accelerated over the second half of the C19th and during the C20th, but there are pockets of houses surviving from the early days, mostly around Knight’s Hill, Norwood High Street/Elder Road and the area between them. A light dusting of overnight snow can still be seen.

A row of what look like mid-C19th houses on the east side of Knight's Hill. The development of West Norwood began with the breaking up of Lord Thurlow's estate after his death in 1806, but it accelerated greatly with the arrival of the Crystal Palace railway in 1856; between 1851 and 1901 the population of the district of St. Luke's, Norwood increased from around 4,000 to around 36,000.
