Victorian Houses

This is the house that Linda and I lived in for the first two years that we were married, 1992-94, in South Norwood, London. Shops, post office, banks, a library and Norwood Junction train station were just a few minutes away by foot. The house was at least as old as 1868, because I found it on a copy of an 1868 ordinance survey map. The house is sub-divided into eight flats.

A scene of row houses in South East London. Victorian row houses are the most common type of house, but here and there you find newer housing estates that were built where there was bomb damage during World War II.

This is where I lived in Brockley before I was married. There was a nice snow in February 1991. My room was on the ground floor flat. There was a park around the corner called Hilly Fields, where I enjoyed going for walks. About a mile to our east was the Lewisham shopping center, where I spent a lot of time.
