History

[edit]

North Norwood Post Office opened around 1886, was renamed Trinity Gardens in 1950 and St Morris in 1963 before closing in 1988.[2]

The Windsor Theatre opened at 407 Magill Road in 1931, purpose-built as a picture theatre, on a corner block. It was owned by the Cunnew brothers, was also known as the De Franco at some point, and closed in 1957,[3] by which time the lease had been acquired by Ozone Theatres Ltd.[4] and as of 2022 houses Inspirations paint shop.[5][3]

The suburb was regarded as a middle class one in the 20th century.[3]
