Croydon: How It Is - November 2024
This is my fifth annual November visit to Croydon to film it and capture the town "how it is".
I am a local historian and have made many films in the Croydon area so I do pick out certain historical elements (notably the architecture) and include some nostalgia.
Comments are reviewed before publishing, there may be a delay because of this. I ask that they are in keeping with the content I produce on my channel. If not, they will be removed.
