Croydon Corporation tramways duct cover, Brigstock Road, Thornton Heath
Croydon Corporation's tram route no.2 ran from the Greyhound pub in central Croydon to Thornton Heath High Street, via London Road and Brigstock Road. In 1933 the Corporation's trams, along with those of the London County Council and other networks in the capital, were taken over by London Transport, so this duct cover has been in the pavement since the early 1930s at the latest. (Following the takeover, this route became London Transport's route 42.) There is a run of these duct covers all along the north side of Brigstock Road, which is something of a museum of old covers once one starts staring at the pavement whilst walking!

Aliens in Thornton Heath?
I saw a man, standing outside Thornton Heath library, laughing. This is not normal behaviour, so I returned a few minutes later with my camera. I gather that it's an advertisement for a film, although I have not checked out the website.

Thornton Heath Library
The main entrance to the Edwardian building, taken during building works in 2010 which improved access to the old building but at the cost of adding a much-disliked modern concrete box entrance to the side of this. The crowning glory of the new entrance is the word "Library" in vast, disproportionate concrete letters. I dislike it so much I'll leave it to someone else to record that part of the building.
