St. Mary's Church, Norwood.  Originally a chapel of Ease under St. Mary's Hayes, it became the parish Church of Norwood in 1850.  Like Harrow -on-the-Hill it was a peculiar of Canterbury, in that it was not under the Diocese of London.  Nick Taylor March 2022.

The Plough Inn, Tentalow lane.  In the 1960's there was a front garden, but this was lost when the road was widened.  Nick Taylor March 2022.

The Lamb public house.  Probably built when the canal was dug in 1794.  It was a rival to the Wolf Inn across Norwood Road, but has survived, whereas the Wolf Inn has not.  Nick Taylor March 2022.

Sadly, The Wolf Inn is no more.  After a period when it was left empty and derelict, this old public house has found a new life as The Bar Shisha Lounge.  We wish them every success. Nick Taylor March 2022.

Lets hope that the Town Hall is occupied.  An empty building is not good for its future conservation

The Three Horseshoes opposite the Town Hall, on Butlers Corner.   No longer a pub but the building has been well preserved.
