Norbury Estate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plan of the Norbury Estate from the Report of the Housing for the Working Classes Committee, London County Council, 1912–1913

The Norbury Estate originated as a London County Council cottage estate constructed between 1901 and 1920 at Norbury in what is now the north of the London Borough of Croydon. It was declared a conservation area in 2008.

The site was a former brickfield, and the clay recovered was fired to make bricks for this estate and Totterdown Fields.

The estate was influenced by Ebenezer Howard's Garden city movement and the Arts and Crafts movement, with high quality external detailing and an open setting with privet hedges, front gardens and wide grass verges.[1]
