A short history of SE19

For centuries the area was part of the Great North Wood, an oak forest on the edge of London and the name Norwood is a shortened form of North Wood. Building over it began in the 19th century. Between 1784 and 1790 the Beulah Hill ridge was used for observations in the Anglo-French Survey. Decimus Burton designed the Royal Beulah Spa and Gardens in 1831. The Crystal Palace was rebuilt on Sydenham Hill in 1854 after the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the surrounding area took its name. The spa closed in 1856. Fire destroyed the Palace on 30 November 1936 and the site became Crystal Palace Park. In 1966 the stolen Jules Rimet trophy was found on Beulah Hill. There are 37 listed buildings nearby, with Grade II* for the Church of St John and the Subway, Vestibule, Terrace and Stairs to the Crystal Palace.
