Whitehorse Road Recreation Ground was acquired by Croydon Council in 1891 as an informal play area for local children. An enclosed rest garden was built for elderly people to use and also a shelter. A fire was provided for them in the winter months. During the Second World War the main part of the field was used for ARP Shelters.

The Crescent in Selhurst, in south London's outer suburbs.

The original Selhurst Grammar School converted to Selhurst High School in 1970, closed in 1987, and re-opened when the Ingram School moved here under the confusing name of Selhurst High School. More recently, the school has specialised in Mathematics and Computing, but finally closed in 2008. On the occasion of my visit, filming was taking place for "The Bill". A six part mini-series, of this popular programme, was broadcast in the summer of 2009. Very strange, seeing some of the classrooms for the first time in 36 years! Harry Carpenter and Malcolm Muggeridge were "old boys" of this school. http://www.theoldcroydonians.org.uk/

The BRIT School for performing arts has seen much talent pass through its doors in recent years. See link below for more details. http://www.brit.croydon.sch.uk/ To the left of picture is the former Selhurst High School (now closed) which was recently used as the location for a mini series of programmes in "The Bill", broadcast in April 2009. The school in the picture was the Girls school; most of the filming was done in the Boys school, and playground, which lie behind the Girls school.
