View down Elder Road
With a line of fine old gnarled trees growing in a variety of directions.
After the traffic lights the road becomes Norwood High Street.
In the distance are the towers of St Luke's church and the former fire station.

Norwood High Street (1)
A tatty stretch on the east side running north from Windsor Grove (far right). The modest mid-Victorian two-storey houses would probably scrub up reasonably well, but sit far back behind a ragbag of projecting shops, several of which are currently empty. The corner site is empty, save for two rusting Volkswagens.

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.

Waring Street
A short cul-de-sac off Norwood High Street with nothing much except a couple of industrial buildings - Waring House, and Zephyr House beyond.
Off to the left is an even shorter cul-de-sac, Dunkirk Street, which has virtually nothing except three houses opposite Waring House. The map suggests it may originally have continued north until it met Pilgrim Hill before being curtailed by the site now occupied by builders' merchants, Travis Perkins.

Industrial area near West Norwood Station, from the train
This area of builders' supply yards, light industry and mechanics' shops lies in a dip just to the east of (and parallel to) Norwood High Street, running south from the railway. The dip probably represents the old course of the Effra, one of London's lost rivers.

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.
