EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Railway Arms pub in Croydon, Surrey, as it once stood before its closure and demolition in July 2018. The image presents a frontal view of the pub, its red brick facade adorned with ornate white detailing and the distinctive "Railway Arms" sign hanging above the entrance. The pub, a beloved local institution, exudes a sense of history and community, with its large windows inviting passersby to step inside and enjoy a pint or a hearty meal. The Railway Arms, located in the heart of Croydon, was more than just a public house; it was a gathering place for friends and neighbors, a place where stories were shared and memories were made. The pub's rich history can be traced back to the late 19th century, when it was first established to serve the local community, many of whom worked for the nearby railway company. Despite its popularity, the Railway Arms was unable to withstand the relentless march of progress, and was ultimately closed and demolished in 2018. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the pub's existence and the role it played in the lives of the people of Croydon. The back of the print includes the pub's address, CR0 1TL, for those who may wish to remember the Railway Arms fondly or pay their respects to this cherished piece of local history.
