Croydon: Signs on the footpath
The scene here looks peaceful enough, with the churchyard in front of the paved path, but behind the photographer a dual-carriageway roars along, supposedly restricted to 40 mph, (a limit that is ignored by many drivers). These signs show the point at which this road, and also the path, changes name from Roman Way (to the north) to Old Town (to the south).

The Sign on the Wall
This sign is located on the exterior wall of the Great Hall of Croydon Palace. For those who think that Croydon is 'modern'; history is there, just hard to find. The tour is well worth the admission fee, which included a cream tea on each of my visits. Queen Elizabeth I was entertained at Croydon Palace.
