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.

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.

A group of three charming little brick cottages which probably date from the first half of the C19th.
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.
A light dusting of overnight snow can still be seen.
