Breaker's yard, Windsor Grove
Sitting pretty atop West Norwood Car Breakers is an old mini (?)
On the left is a Royal Mail Delivery Office which looks very 1960s.
A train runs behind the trees towards West Norwood and beyond that are houses on Auckland Hill.

3 and 5 Gipsy Road
A pair of stock brick houses dating from the late C18th or early C19th, making them some of the earliest surviving buildings in the area. They share a lunette in the pediment, and the left-hand house has an extra bay. Grade II listed.
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.

The backdrop of trees are along the railway line east of West Norwood station. One of the rarer varieties of Mini - either a Riley Elf or a Wolseley Hornet - adorns the container on the left.

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.

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.
