South Norwood is unofficially divided into the slightly wealthier area on the northwest side of the railway (the location of a private estate) and the less wealthy area on the southeast, where workers for a former brick factory lived. Although South Norwood is classed as one of the most deprived areas in Croydon, as shown on this external link http://www.croydon.nhs.uk/reports/publichealthinf/aphr/2004part4.pdf[citation needed] The entrance to the estate was between a pair of pillars, though they have long since been demolished. However the capitals were preserved and now sit on the two brick pillars at the Selhurst Road entrance to the South Norwood recreation ground. The area regarded by locals as the nicest area[citation needed] of South Norwood is known unofficially as South Norwood Lakes after the lake in South Norwood Lake and Grounds, a former reservoir of the Croydon Canal. In 2006, it was the scene of a fatal stabbing.[2] The canal ran from New Cross to the site of West Croydon Station. As it passed through South Norwood, pubs sprung up near its course. The Jolly Sailor still stands at the intersection of South Norwood Hill and High Street. The Ship, a few yards to the east, was beside the loading point for bricks from a nearby brickfield across what is now the High Street. The passageway through which bricks passed to the canal is still there. The Goat House pub (which has since been demolished) is said to be named after an island in the canal on which goats were kept.
