Colby Road

From Virtual Norwood

Colby Road is a short road joining Gispy Hill to Dulwich Wood Rd. Its obvious main feature is the Colby Arms at the Gipsy Hill end. The Colby Arms is your average local boozer doing Karaoke on weekends and shows the main footy matches.

The street itself consists of Victorian Terraces, the odd Edwardian and some relative new build terraces.

One small terrace was the residence of Annie Besant (1847 - 1933)- a British social reformer, campaigner for women's rights and a supporter of Indian nationalism.
