Broad Green is one of the more deprived bits of Croydon. When this building went up in 1901, large amounts of the map were coloured pink to show they belonged to the British Empire, but most people who saw it opened would doubtless have found it hard to imagine how the century to come would include natives of many corners of the former empire coming to live in Broad Green.
