The Norwood Society has created a unique website - norwoodstreethistories.org.uk - dedicated to the history of streets in Upper Norwood, South Norwood and West Norwood and their residents.
The website is still very much in its infancy and the Norwood Society welcomes volunteers to join them in their continuing research.
If you would like to discover the history of your house, your road, or one nearby visit the site and you can become a budding researcher and detective. Street histories has leads to maps and landownership, how the street was built, architecture, residents, social history, memories as well as spreadsheets transcribing census records and local street directories. You will also find a section on Notable Norwoodians.
