Description: | Norbury Manor Farm stood on a site close to the junction of Kensington Avenue and Norbury Avenue. It was demolished in 1920 at around the same time that this work was painted. Norbury is in the north of the London Borough of Croydon. Housing development took off there in the early twentieth century. Norbury was chosen by the London County Council (LCC) for the first of its 'Out-County' estates. Between 1906 and 1910, the LCC built 498 small houses on this site, many with their own bathrooms - a major step forward in housing policy at the time. By the late 1920s, most of Norbury had been developed. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Rights holder: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Subjects: | Environment | Temporal: | 1920 | Source: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
