Ignore the Torygraph - look at this one instead

Never mind the concrete: National Trust to show the beauty of Croydon

 

[Guineveretoo]

I didn't know that Terry and June was set in Croydon!

According to that article, the Whitgift Centre appears in the opening titles.

I just looked it up on youtube, and it starts at East Croydon station and includes Fairfield Halls and then the Whitgift Centre.

But they lived in Purley.

 

[hash tag]

I'm sure there are many purley folk who shop in Croydon. It is allowed. Besides shops much better in Croydon. Last time I saw purley, I seem to remember large stretches of shops were being redeveloped.

I know, I wasn't pointing out an inconsistency, just that they weren't Croydon dwellers.

Saying all this, purley is of course, part of the London borough of Croydon.

 

[Callie]

But they lived in Purley.

Which is part of Croydon ... ?!

 

[Maggot]

Which is part of Croydon ... ?!

No it fucking isn't.

It's in the borough of Croydon, but it's not in Croydon.

You don't say that Hampstead is in Camden, do you?

 

[Maggot]

Sorry, I got a bit worked up there!

 

[Guineveretoo]

Purley is in Croydon though.

Isn't it?
