I was born in the summer of 1925, at 10 Penrith Place, West Norwood, and I suppose my awareness of my home town really starts from 1930. www.virtualnorwood.com /localinfo/wnhistory.shtml   (1892 words)

Evening Standard (London): Find the heart of Tulse Hill For literary and historic interest there is the brilliant West Norwood library and, next door, the romantic and bucolic West Norwood Cemetery, burial ground of 19th century local worthies, including Mrs Beeton, the original domestic goddess, and Julius Reuter, the founder of the eponymous news service. Today, Tulse Hill is wedged between Streatham, Brixton, Herne Hill, Dulwich and West Norwood. Early 19th century developers saw its potential as a private estate of elaborate piles for the wealthy (a sort of grand gated development), but after 1869, when the railway connected Tulse Hill to central London, the area developed more rapidly with cheap housing. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qn4153/is_200403/ai_n12071501   (1295 words)
