Purley Way, Croydon
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 21 Apr 1981
Purley Way was originally intended as a Croydon Bypass, and this 1981 photograph shows a part of it that did retain some such features. The scene here has vastly changed now in 2007 with many more buildings and a dual carriageway as many businesses have been established. The playing fields, however, still remain. In this photograph the DMS class bus is on Route 115, Whyteleafe to Wallington, a route which has long since vanished.
