Nettlefold Place
A small loop off Knight's Hill currently comprising a mixture of residential, retail and light industrial uses. The building at the end appears to be in the process of conversion into offices. It would be interesting to know the original uses of these buildings.
The road is named after Frederick Nettlefold, local philanthropist, who lived at Norwood Grove, and industrialist whose company cornered the market in wood screws.

Former Library, Knight's Hill
Designed in 1887 by Sidney Smith, in a Flemish style, of red brick and terracotta with Ham Hillstone dressings. The seven stone busts on the first floor balcony depict Homer, Sir Walter Scott, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens and Socrates. Grade II listed.
It was the first public library in Lambeth, but closed in 1968 after which it was superseded by a new library over the road. Since 2004 it has been a cafe and local community centre. It is within the West Norwood Conservation Area.

Beyond the first word, it's impossible to read the sign from this photograph. By increasing the colour saturation I was able to make out the following (the modern window obstructs two words):
"HOVIS

This tree, on the boundary of the churchyard with Knights Hill, only narrowly missed St Luke's Church. This was on 1st March and it would have been brought down by one of the three named storms of the previous month.
