Taken from the portico of St Luke's church.
The area in front of the church has recently been renovated and landscaped.
The library is on the far right. The big tree is a horse chestnut.

View down Norwood Road (2)
Taken from the green in front of St Luke's church.
A fairly typical volume of traffic - Norwood Road never seems to be without two solid lines of vehicles.
The brown railings, and exotic tree, on the far right mark the entrance to West Norwood cemetery.

Norwood Road (1)
The east side of Norwood Road in West Norwood is substantially comprised of two distinct terraces, with a bit of modern infill. This terrace, which dates from the second half of the C19th (and is probably earlier than the other one), runs between Robson Road (just out of picture on the right) to Chatsworth Way (just past the reddish building on the far left). See here for the section to the north: Image
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.

Norwood Road (3)
The west side of the street is much less coherent than the east side (Image] and Image]). The tiled front of Sainsbury's, on the corner of Lansdowne Hill, looks inter-war, the remainder mostly Victorian.
The chippie on the right is not as parsimonious as the photo suggests.

Ghost sign, Norwood Road
It took only eight years of living in the area for me to notice this huge example, and then only from the top deck of a bus.
