The Society was founded in 1975, European Heritage year, in
response to the outcry at the many historic buildings being demolished
at that time in Croydon (e.g. the Whitgift School), and is affiliated
with the Civic Trust and many other organisations such as the Green Belt
Council and English Heritage.
 |
It seeks to protect, conserve and
preserve, and in some cases enhance the green and built heritage
which remains a rich resource in Croydon Borough. |
 |
It takes special interest in historic
buildings, transport, new roads, pollution, open spaces and footpaths. |
 |
It publishes local history books,
has open meetings once a month, arranges historic walks and can
speak to your organisation on many aspects of Croydon's rich heritage. |
