Purley Way, Croydon: Victorian terrace and New South Quarter beyond
Image: © Christopher Hilton Taken: 9 Jul 2011
New South Quarter is a large housing development recently built on vacant land along the Purley Way (the 1920s Croydon by-pass). The whole landscape around the middle Purley Way is a Ballardesque expanse of dual carriageway, car parks and retail sheds, with a few Victorian cottages stranded in the middle of it.
