very cool captures...neat windows on the corset shop....
Beautiful way of capturing Croydon and its history - and what an uplifting place that hospital looks.
Does Croydon still have its tramways?

Thanks, Brian. I love those windows. Beneath them is the entrance to a couple of bars. The store is long gone. Glad they kept the windows.
Sally, we still have the trams. There was talk of extending the route to crystal palace, but that seems to have fallen through for now.
I love trams: they are so 'European' and 'Egalitarian' and 'Quiet'.
I love them.
I am jealous of Croydon.
:D
heh! croydon doesn't have much to recommend it apart from the trams (but yes, they are really cool)
