My parents moved to Thornton Heath when I was 18. Croydon was really quite nice then, with the Jacobean almshouses on the corner of the High St and the road where the Town Hall is to be found.
There were no skyscrapers then, though talk about them pretended they would be a wonderful improvement. I bought( and still have it) my one and only evening dress in the big department store there, the name of which I can no longer recall. I did frequent the auction rooms, called Reeves, I think. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Out of curiosity, I went on the M&S website to see what they had in the way of women's boots.....now bought a pair! They should be giving you commission 😉
Croydon is a dump, I grew up in Sutton which is close by and is often called Croydon’s “little brother” sadly Sutton is fast becoming like Croydon. A grim dump.
Laura as a former resident and my wife was born and grew up
In East Croydon I feel the same what is the point of so many cameras I seem
To think that Croydon council
Had more cctv than anywhere apart from New York and now I understand there are a test bed for facial recognition. What a state of affairs it has become in the late 90s I worked on the trams and that was enough to make me move away to protect my young baby.
Glad you got out of Croydon alive. They must have been some boots!
Yes it’s amazing (not) that the pogrom march people aren’t jubilant to hear that Trump has achieved what they’ve supposedly been after all along. Hideous people!
I had my heart set on a pair of burgundy boots. M&S were the nicest style and best value of the season in my price range. I'd recommend them, but I got the last pair, literally!
I happened to get a tram from Wimbledon station to Beckenham junction via Croydon the other Sunday. If only I knew what I was letting myself in for. It really brought it home to me how the elites have destroyed this country.

What a shame it has sunk so low.

Yes, Sutton was alright once upon a time.

Glad I haven't offended a (former) Croydon resident. It was once a nice market town. Such a shame.
