It has experienced rapid population growth, increasing by over 50,000 in the last 10 years up until 2015. There are five key town centers: Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell, North Lambeth (Waterloo, Vauxhall, Kennington), and Norwood and Streatham. Lambeth is the 5th most deprived Borough in London. One in five of the borough’s residents work in jobs that pay below the London Living Wage. This is reflected by the fact that nearly one in four (24%) young people live in families who receive tax credits. Major regeneration developments and improvements are underway for Waterloo and Vauxhall and the Nine Elms Regeneration project which will drive the transformation of these areas. Lambeth College has three main campuses in the borough, based in Clapham, Brixton and Vauxhall. Approximately a quarter of the student cohort in any given academic year are 16‐18 learners. In addition to this, there is also a significantly growing proportion of 16-18 learners on Apprenticeship programmes, moderate numbers on workplace‐training provision for employers and school link programmes which are offered to relatively smaller learner volumes.

  • Norbury History Chronology
    WHAT HAPPENED IN NORBURY? An Introductory Chronology Pollards Hill Recreation Ground Fountain & former Age Concern UK office Norbury Library Norbury Park Norbury Brook Sean Creighton History & Social Action Publications 2017 1 Introduction Norbury is a district in North Croydon with borders with the Streatham district of the London Boroughs of Lambeth and with parts of Merton. The name ‘Norbury’ is an abbreviation of ‘Northborough’. ‘Borough’ originally meant a certain manor or district. What became Croydon contained several boroughs. Reference to these was dropped when Croydon was incorporated as a County Borough in 1888. This chronology has been compiled to help stimulate interest in Norbury’s history. The first modern history of the area A History of Norbury by David Clark was published by the Streatham Society in 2013. It has been through several reprints but is now out of print. It can be read at Norbury Library. David occasionally gives talks about Norbury’s history and leads walks in the area. I am a historian whose interests include Croydon and Norbury, where I live. History & Social Action Publications is my publishing imprint. I am an individual member of the Croydon Local Studies Forum, and co-ordinator of the Croydon Radical History Network. I hope that this introduction will inspire readers to research aspects of interest to them. One of the easiest ways is to look at the local newspapers from the 1860s at Croydon Museum’s Local Studies Research Room at the Clocktower at Croydon Town Hall complex in Katharine St. Sean Creighton February 2017 [email protected] Prehistoric Period 1459.
