There is a rare opportunity to see Croydon During the 20th Century in Films at 7.30pm tonight at the Fairfield Halls.
Admission is free.
Croydon’s development between 1910 and the 1960s will be shown in a collection of short silent films.
The films will be accompanied with piano music from Gaaron Clarke, a student at Harris Academy, South Norwood, and with a commentary by local historian John Hickman.
An entertaining and educational evening is guaranteed (it says here).

Will there be another opportunity to see this? Sounds interesting 🙂
I don’t think there are plans to repeat it at the moment, but the presenter John Hickman will be giving a local history talk following the People for Portland Road AGM at The Stanley Halls, 12 South Norwood Hill on Saturday 28th June at 11.00am. All are welcome, and there will also be a presentation about what has been happening locally, with refreshments available.
