A "very modest" terrace (Pevsner) within the Elderwood Road Conservation Area. The houses are thought to have been built around 1855, while the pub dates from the 1920s. Lambeth Council's conservation paper comments that "they contribute in group value to the area as a whole and provide an excellent village-scale foil to the larger buildings.

The long terraces of pleasing but modest, plain brick houses are not typical of West Norwood, being more redolent of workers' housing in industrial areas. 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.

The lodge to Elderwood (Image). It was built in 1887, possibly to the designs of Sidney Smith. With its shaped gables and decorative plasterwork it's a jolly little building. It is within the Elderwood Road Conservation Area. In its planning paper Lambeth council described it as an "Outdoor Relief Station" which makes it sound a bit like a public toilet.

These houses were built in the late 1930s. The dip in the road is the location of the River Effra which is one of London's subterranean rivers. See also Image

A group of three charming little brick cottages which 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.

This handsome mid-19th century building has a stucco front with a pediment containing an oculus, a porch of paired Ionic columns in antis, and lower wings. Grade II listed. It is now used as a children's nursery.
