Small church, Whytecliffe Road South, Purley
To what exact religion this small church subscribes is not clear from the outside, where a notice merely informs us that 'The Word of God will be preached here on the Lord's Day each week at 7.00 p.m.'

Brighton Road, Purley - 1990
Route 411 which ran from West Croydon to Earlswood (Whitebushes) was one of the long London Country routes which used this road, but many, including the 411, have now disappeared, or been grievously truncated. The bus is opposite the then new Downlands Precint, a small group of shops around a passage that leads through to Purley High Street, and is also a short-cut to the station.

Brighton Road, Purley
When Purley was part of the Coulsdon and Purley Urban District, and in Surrey, this road was named quite logically as London Road. But when the area was absorbed by the London Borough of Croydon in 1967, bureaucracy demanded the whole stretch would become known as Brighton Road. The United Reformed Church is seen here on the right, while a bus on Route 412 is at the end of its journey from Croydon via Selsdon.

Route 412 bus at Purley
Looking northwards along Brighton Road, Arriva Daf-Wright bus DW 35 is seen taking its layover before returning to West Croydon via the very hilly 412 route via Sanderstead and Selsdon. Said by the drivers to be more powerful than the Dennis Tridents, this type, dating from 2004, is not surprisingly the first choice on the 412.

Brighton Road, Purley - 1990
Back in 1990, it was quite common to see double deck buses working on the 166. Here we see one, southbound for its Chipstead Valley terminus. Close scrutiny shows that the 'via' blind displayed is incorrect - it's the one intended for the 194.

Brighton Road, Purley: 1981
This is part of the A235. The gas showrooms on the left have now completely gone, and many of the Purley shops are now charity shops - a type unknown in 1981. The Leyland National bus on Route 414 is destined for Dorking. This bus route is also merely a memory now.
