Gallery of displays documenting the town since 1800, located in the Croydon Clocktower building.
A small but interesting museum about the history of Croydon. Artefacts have been donated/loaned by current and former occupants of the town and tell the story of Croydon's recent history and further back. You should expect to spend approximately an hour to an hour and a half here if you want to look at all of the displays and read the notes, etc. A few interactive exhibits for kids, but more geared towards the people and the history than a "pushing buttons" museum. Worth a visit to soak up the local history!
Great place to visit. Interesting displays and great cafe. Archivist extremely helpful on some local research.
The staff were very very helpful indeed. They went great lengths to explain each exhibit thoroughly.
Our museum here in Croydon is smaller than the other areas but still as knowledgeable and interesting as the others. Every town has their own story to tell and it's amazing how you can easily know it in one place!
A nice museum with interesting exhibits. Well located in Croydon town centre. Wasn't too busy when I visited. Free to enter.
Good thing I brought my kid here for a tour during his free week. I learned things as much as he does too. Can't believe i know such little things about our town!
