Croydon: The 'Orchard'
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 9 Jun 2010
First opened in 1855 as a beer-house. Until about 1980, the name was the 'Cherry Orchard'. It is a good example of a pub which is making a real creditable effort to stay alive in an area where other pubs have 'gone under': a wide variety of entertainment and activities are offered, and it does give the impression that the landlord really cares.
