Well we decided to stay another night at Croydon. Nice cheap clean convenient CP, and promises to be interesting looking around. So today is exploring... Many historic buildings ar in situ, a few have been re-located but nearly all are open everyday, with various historical displays.
The journey starts at the historical/information centre/library. Brief video to start and lots of info boards then it's a walk... around two blocks initially...

| This Butcher closed in 1983 |
 |
| Court and Sergeants house |
 |
| The Courtroom provides an audio re-enactment of a trial of a woman for Drunk & Disorderly... very blue, very funny... Except that the lesson is that she got two months for D&D and a local Chinese farmer got the same for supplying his workers with opium ( to keep them turning up) Drug dealing and D&D same sentence in 1902 |
