Sights of Croydon 2021...

 

Went on an expedition beyond the walls yesterday... and saw a velocorapter.  

Yes despite all the obstacles someone was promoting some event for children in the Whitgift Centre. The Westfield bid to pull it all down for housing has apparently died like the dinosaurs due to the planning permissions expiring during the pandemic.  



Also a poster of Rhiannon Theresa Hall. 

Google reveals the lady died in a hit and run in Cheam....



The eternally closed College Green and Fairfield Hall car park... Now it is bust.... Croydon Council is flogging the land for £20,000,000 to recover the cost of the refurbishment of the venue.  A 2000 person venue with only 16 disabled parking bays... And no normal parking spaces... What could possibly go wrong... ? 

A Telephone Box bravely battling redundancy.... 









HSBC telling me to go to Kent... 








They even took the ATMs with them...
