Idmiston Road, LONDON, SE27 9HW

There has been a Baptist church here since 1877. The present building replaced the original one which was destroyed by a V2 rocket in World War 2.

One of a few attractive mid-C19th villas in the road within the West Norwood Conservation Area. 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.

This house on the corner of Idmiston Road and Barston Road looks suitably Gothic, and the name on the gatepost out of sight to the left says 'Gothic Lodge' - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4281708

This is the entrance in Idmiston Road to the house seen in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4281706

The five modern houses nearest to the camera are sympathetic to the style and scale of the older properties in the street.

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).

Built, according to the listed building description, in the late-C19th. Grade II listed. A bit of a novelty among the more standard suburban fare in this area. The fretted bargeboards can just be made out in the gables and the porch. Was it ever a lodge to a big house or another building?
