Visit of Norbury : by Walking or Flying ? :)
Yesterday I was looking for fun to see if Google Street had took photos of St Philip, Norbury.
It was almost that : a google car went just 1 road near the church !
Here St Philip, from the nearest point in Google Street, crossroad between Pollards Hill and Beech road.
The red roof through the trees is St Philip.
To virtually walk from Norbury Station to that crossroad, just click on this Google Street view link
(When the starting point is displayed like below, don't forget to click on the "street view" link...)
Then, follow London Road to the south (you have to do a u-turn first, to go bottom of the screen) and after 1 Km turn right on Pollards Hill
===============
And today I have seen that Bing Maps have nice aerial views of Norbury
Here some example :
(Beware, 3 MB photo !)
St Philip is in the upper right hand corner.
If interested, have a look on this topic in the french forum, I have uploaded a few other aerial views of Norbury

Quote from the movie Copying Beethoven
"The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are. "

The rubbish may be the result of the works needed to rebuild the wall at the entrance of the church.
Remember that last year 2 cars hit each other in front of the church and one of them wrecks the outside wall.

On the Google street photos, the wall is newly rebuilded. All the mess and garbage just asside may be the rest of the material, cement, bricks...

thanks for this information which I didn't know. I was been there last September and I asked me also by myself what this 'rubbish' is doing there.
BTW: No white robes is correct but maybe there is a new voice on the image.

I see on the french forum, fan_de_LoK has taken some photo's of his recent visit, and indeed they now have a new noticeboard.
...and the builders rubbish is gone too.
Yes Jimmy, it's a point I checked when arriving at St Philip, no more garbage in front of the church, everything was nice and clean
Here the photos from the french forum
