Davis House, Robert Street
Built in 1960-61 to the designs of G. & D. Crump. A plaque records that: "In the Davis Theatre/which stood on this site/Sir Thomas Beecham/conducted the/first performance of the/Royal Philharmonic/Orchestra/on/Sunday 15th September/1946".
Between the 1950s and the 1970s Croydon experienced a burst of commercial development unparalleled anywhere else in the country. The impetus was provided by the Croydon Corporation Act of 1956 which gave Croydon Council powers to develop land in the borough. A combination of improved roads, government incentives to relocate from, and Croydon's proximity to, central London, and lower rents attracted employers in their droves. By 1970 about six million square feet of office space had been provided in central Croydon. Development has continued since, but at a much slower rate. From a distance the skyline is impressive (the nearest this country comes to Manhattan), but the problem is that few of the buildings are of architectural merit.
The crane behind is working on new council buildings, intended to replace Taberner House, the end of which is just visible to the right (Image]).

Croydon: Route 466 bus in the High Street
T 51, a Dennis Trident, is seen destined for Caterham-on-the-Hill, in the centre of Croydon. This route, the 466, is very heavily used, with a very large college and important medical facilities near its southern end. In France, Germany, Holland, Belgium etc. it would probably be a candidate for conversion into a tram route.

Croydon: office buildings from the roof of the Wandle Road multi-storey car park
The clock tower marks the Town Hall and Library complex. In front of it Davis House was at that time occupied by the council but has subsequently been earmarked for potential demolition, to make space for a controversial new council building (both need and price have been questioned). To the right, the UK headquarters of Nestlé. Out of shot to the right is Tabener House, the main council office block.
