Croydon: The 'Porter and Sorter'
Contrary to appearances, this is not an old pub, having been established only about twenty years ago in an obscure location behind East Croydon station. As the name suggests, it is used by railwaymen and postal workers. I have heard, though cannot confirm from personal experience, that Brag and Poker are regularly played here.

Located beside East Croydon railway station; there is now a clear view towards the public house, following the removal of the redundant overhead mail conveyor.
This area is designated for redevelopment, in the near future.

Taxis at East Croydon station
Taxis queue in a double line, awaiting their turn to be called forward. In the distance is the Porter & Sorter public house, and the picture is framed by the bridge which was used to convey the mailbags from the station into East Croydon Post Office sorting office.

Porter & Sorter Public House, East Croydon
Tucked away on the eastern side of East Croydon station, this pub has been much re-built, and extended, since I played darts here in the late 1970's.
Behind the pub is East Croydon Post Office sorting office. In the days of Mail trains, mailbags were conveyed across the bridge (to the right of photograph) into the sorting office.

Looking north from East Croydon Station
East Croydon is a busy mainline station south of London Victoria and London Bridge serving many stations in Surrey and Sussex, it was opened in 1841
The present station building opened on 19 August 1992. It consists of a large steel and glass frame suspended from a lightweight steel structure that straddles the track and platforms to a much greater extent than was possible with its Victorian predecessor
