Norwood Road (2)
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 later than the other one), runs between Chatsworth Way (just visible on the far right) and Lancaster Avenue (the road to the left). See here for the section to the south:

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.

Ghost sign, Chatsworth Way
The sign in the left-hand window reads, "The best equipped workshop in south London / We collect and deliver / Phone GIPSY 3969".
Then "WAY GOODS".
On the right, "Full range of components / Mains transformers / Output / Chokes. Htr / Valves. Chassis etc".
Needless to say, these claims no longer stand up.
