The public archives hold just one old photo of Croydon. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.
Read from the archive, the National Register and the record. The page puts what stands out first.
The first neighbors to add old photos shape how Croydon’s history is told.
From Wikipedia’s history of Croydon.
The name Croydon comes from the town of Croydon in South-East England; nine miles south of the historic center of London, it was traditionally part of Surrey but is now the center of the London Borough of Croydon.
The White Hall of Bristol College was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
