Croydon: The 'Hare and Hounds', Purley Way
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 14 Mar 2010
It must be many years since hare were hunted around here, but the pub lives on, in what is not an easy environment. It is on a main road, part of the A23, but most traffic is in a hurry and goes straight past without a glance. The 'Hare and Hounds' was opened in 1773, and originally it was on a quiet lane called Waddon Marsh Lane, which in 1925 became the route of Purley Way.
