Lunch delivered from @MatthewsYard: avocado toast, Yard burger, animal fries, cherry/almond slice #Croydon #WestCroydon #lunch

Two new historical sources added to my London Road website! london-road-croydon.org/history/no-mor… · Transcripts & summaries of Croydon-related wills (1595–1862) · A full-colour, zoomable, pannable, fade-in-and-outable version of the 1800 Croydon Enclosure Map Please enjoy 😄

Just added another #Croydon will to my website; this one’s particularly interesting in social terms as it lists individual belongings e.g. “My Stereoscope in Box and all the Slides”, “Strickland’s Lives of the Queens of England in 6 Volumes”. london-road-croydon.org/history/source…

Who wants to see 1,000 photos of food made, sold, grown, or eaten in the London Borough of Croydon? Here you go: flickr.com/groups/croydon…

Lunch ordered from @MatthewsYard, including a cup of their Christmas Blend loose leaf tea which I’m very much looking forward to trying.

Update: Christmas Blend tea is very good — if you like interesting tea then you should definitely try it.

Does anyone #Croydon remember Tramms (the market)? Loved that place

Go on, chuck Shaniqua a fiver (or more if you can!) She does good work for people in Croydon, and it would be great to get this anthology fully funded.

If you want to show your postal worker that you support their strike, you can download a poster from cwu.org/rmgballotresou… and print it out to put in your window. Our postie saw our poster the other day and was very happy! Please consider doing this; it does make a difference.
