Mylands factory, Rothschild Street
Although primarily a residential area with a main shopping street, West Norwood also has an industrial area. Well, two streets to be precise. Mylands makes paints and polishes. According to their website, they are "the last manufacturer of decoration coatings based in the London area."
Rothschild Street was laid out c1900 on the site of some Huguenot almshouses.

Offices, Chapel Road
An office block with an impressive array of aerials, antennae and other rooftop projections. Seen from Knight's Hill. Surprisingly, the empty plot of land shows no signs of development - surely there is space for several hundred "luxury" apartments.

Ghost sign, Norwood High Street
A palimpsestic ghost sign? I think Kay's Motors is discernible, with at least one other later incumbent less so. The current ones, Alton Motors, may have painted over some of the original sign.

Former Bricklayers' Arms, Chapel Road
Another pub which has gone for a burton (or in this case a Charrington). Happily, the pub sign has survived even though it is in need of some TLC. The pub appears to have been converted to residential use.
