Thanks Sqkr. Actually mine is just 30k not 30 mile. Not quite ready for that 😁

Best wishes y'all for a wonderful run :)

David_G - if you are running past Croydon City Hall please wave at my old friend there, Vicky the Second :)

Thanks Irish-John, the route doesn’t go past the town hall but I’ll be passing Vicky’s statue on the way to lunch, so I’ll give her a wave then. πŸ‘‹

I miss Croydon. I enjoyed living there for a while in the 2000s. I grabbed a few brief hours there on the way to Gatwick a few years ago but was shocked to see how many small shops and businesses were gone, and the Whitfield centre looking very neglected. However, I've been told that a huge revival is well under way.

One thing for sure though :) - it was always, over the space of the twenty years or so I was either in or just passing through, somehow very reassuring to see Vicky at her ease and unchanged :)

A sense of permanence in a chaotic life :)

Hi John, it’s a bit of a ghost town now unless you like bookmakers and charity shops.😳 Westfield are supposed to be building a new shopping centre to replace the Whitgift, but only time will tell how that goes!πŸ€”

In the meantime the town will no doubt stagger along.

I’ll post on here tomorrow to let you know how I got onπŸ™‚πŸ€ž

I will be cheering you on Dave :)

Heck - even better, I just might be able to buy you a beer in the Porter and Sorter in October or November :) I'm hoping to get a trip in to London/Sussex around then :)

Sounds great John. The Porter & Sorter is still there. There’s a 50 storey building going up opposite East Croydon station, so I doubt you’ll recognise the place!😳🀣

They are not taking down the thrupenny bit building I hope!!

Heaven forfend!!!

Hi John, no that’s still there. It’s now called β€œOne Croydon” or something similar. No idea why!🀣

Well well well... Hyacinth "Bouqet" must be in residence πŸ˜‚

I used to lurk around Alpha road myself :) Cannot get over what the house there is worth these days :) Croydon real estate is no joke :)
