View down the line from West Norwood station
This view standing at the end of the down platform, beyond the bridge over Norwood High Street, looks away from London towards Gipsy Hill. The Crystal Palace TV Mast can just be seen to the right of the signals. The cameras on the left are for the benefit of the train driver, whilst the various signs make it quite clear it is not a good idea for passengers to go any further.

Ghost sign, Pilgrim Hill
Now converted into two houses, this building clearly once served:
"H. DAY & SONS DEPOSITORIES"
The brickwork adds a little interest, a pity about the ugly blocked window.

Path, West Norwood Cemetery (4)
West Norwood Cemetery is one of the “Magnificent Seven” cemeteries founded in the early C19th to deal with the expanding population of London. It was laid out by Sir William Tite and opened in 1837. It has 65 Grade II and Grade II* listed monuments.
The conifer on the right is, judging by the bunched needles and cones, a pine of some description.
The prominent spire is that of St Luke:

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.
