Squalid roads, buildings and locations named and shamed; in the hope that the owners and relevant authorities do something to improve the environment.
The Bird House Revisited Friday, February 27, 2004
Look what I saw today at “The Bird House” (to read my earlier articles about this place visit The Bird House and The Leaning Chimney Pot of Croydon), someone has made a lame attempt to improve the aesthetics of this building.
If you are the owners, or a member of Croydon Council, can you spot the difference?
Spot the difference
Yes that's right; the boarding, which had fallen down, has been put back up. I assume that the owners of this sorry wreck of a building and Croydon Council, who allegedly are meant to protect our urban environment, think that this is a real improvement to this eyesore.
It is nice to think that my website has had something to do with pricking their consciences into doing something. However, I am less than impressed with their efforts.
I want, and I assume the residents of Sydenham Road also want, to see this building renovated.
So stop messing around, and get on with it!

A Pleasant Afternoon Stroll by the Railway
Join me on a pleasant afternoon stroll by the railway line, located between Sydenham Road and Gloucester Road Croydon.
Here, despite the efforts of the Council to keep it clean (I don’t blame them for everything!), people continue to dump all manner of refuse.
Should you feel weary, some very kind soul has even dumped a couple of sofas; how considerate of them!
It would be really nice if the people who did this could be rounded up, and forced to clean up this mess. They could then be transported to the nearest pigsty, and found accommodation there; where doubtless they would feel more at home.
To join me on my stroll, please visit A Stroll by the Railway and wait for the pictures to load.

The Leaning Chimney Pot of Croydon
Here is a photo, albeit slightly blurred (sorry folks I’m not a professional photographer), of one of the chimney stacks of The Bird House (see my earlier post below for full details on The Bird House).
Now, I am sure it is quite obvious that there is a problem here. However, for the benefit of the owners of the Bird House and Croydon Council; neither of whom seem to care about the state of this building, I will elucidate.
One of the chimney pots is leaning at an alarming angle.
I am no expert on these matters, but I strongly suspect that the pot (and it seems to be quite a large one) is going to topple over in the not too distant future.
This of course poses a hazard to any pedestrians in the vicinity, who have the misfortune to be walking past at the time it chooses to topple.
I would remind our ever vigilant Council, and the rather dozy owners of this building, that this building is also next door to a nursery school.
Now at the risk of sounding like a bore, why not fix it before someone gets hurt or killed?

If you share my (our) view that Croydon Council has let the residents of Croydon down, with respect to the environment and its ceaseless demands for ever higher council tax, then wear the "Welcome to Croydon!" sweatshirt.

The Little Shop of Horrors Saturday, February 07, 2004
This charming picturesque corner shop, pictured below, sits on the corner of St James’s Road and Wellesley Road Croydon.
It fell into disuse and disrepair many years ago, it is a blight on the community and the shop next door (which has no connection with it whatsoever).The interesting thing about this is that it was sold by auction at the beginning of 2003 to a private bidder.
This individual has owned this blight on the community for a year now, yet has done nothing with it. Why?
My advice to the owner is this, either sell it or rennovate it; don't let it rot!
To view more pictures in the form of a slide show please visit "The Little Shop of Horrors". . . (Have you thought about checking with the Land Registry Ken? . It cost £8 to find out who he is and post it on here.)

The Secret Judo Club
What mysterious building lies behind these “attractive” boards, erected on Tavistock Road Croydon, shown in the picture below?
· A secret government complex?
· A nudist colony?
No, a disused and decaying judo club. The club has been abandoned for at least the last two years; and, as with all abandoned areas, has started to rot and decay. Hardly pleasant for the residents of Tavistock Road, who take pride in their homes and local environment; and of course who pay council tax.
Needless to say, in Q4 of 2003 a group of “travellers” appeared; and set up an encampment in the driveway of the judo club.
Only after complaints from myself, and others, did Croydon Council ask the police to move them along.
Then, as an afterthought, these attractive boards were erected; to prevent further invasions. Here’s a radical thought, why not use this piece of land for homes or something practical for the community? Instead of letting it rot! If you would like to see a few more pictures of these boards please visit “The Secret Judo Club”.

Dingwall Road - Post Nuclear Croydon
Dingwall Road is one of the main thoroughfares used by commuters, to go between their homes, offices and East Croydon station (the main line station that connects Croydon to London, Gatwick and the coast). I would say that several thousand people, both locals and visitors use this road.
I wonder precisely what impression this squalid, unkempt and decaying example of corporate/council design and planning gone wrong must make.
Croydon Council are very keen to promote Croydon as the ideal place to make movies. I for one would agree that if you wished to make a movie about life after a nuclear attack, then Dingwall Road would be my location of choice.
Dingwall Road has a fine combination of hideous car parks, bill boards, waste land, dirt, detritus, plastic bags in trees and derelict office buildings. It says more about Croydon Council and its competence wrt planning and design (past and present) than words or political speeches ever could. It is more reminiscent of communist East Europe, rather than a vibrant heart of a 21st century town.
Personally I would like to see every council member past and present, who had a hand in approving the planning of this carbuncle; together with the architects and corporate money men who put forward the plans, visit every resident on Croydon on their bended knees and apologise for this miserable excuse for a thoroughfare.
As for the current members of Croydon Council who, don’t forget that they raised council tax by 27% last year (and no doubt will do so again), have sat on their hands for the past few years and watched this road rot further; I have nothing but contempt. It is not without some justification that they were awarded my prestigious "Worse Than Worthless" award last year. The nearest we have ever come to renovation and urban regeneration is the cheap plastic model of "Future Croydon", displayed in Allders shopping mall.
This has as much chance of becoming reality as I have of becoming Pope!
I have assembled a photo collage of pictures that I have taken one afternoon, as I took a “pleasant” stroll down Dingwall Road. To view highlights of my stroll along Dingwall Road please click Post Nuclear Croydon. I present an example of one of the pleasant sights of my walk below:

This charming picture below shows a pile of rubble; which mysteriously appeared outside a rather shabby office (situated on St James’s Road near Newgate Croydon), some time during 2003.
Needless to say neither the owners of the building, nor Croydon Council, have done anything about it.
As with all piles of debris, the ubiquitous abandoned shopping trolley has also appeared.
Should you wish to view a slide show of pictures of this particular eyesore, please visit “A Pile of Rubble”.

I commend the following link to The Croydon Guardian which has an article about my "Named and Shamed" section.
Rubble Rousing
If that does not work then go to the Croydon Guardian website and look it up under latest news.
The article includes Croydon Council's response; which basically says that everyone is happy with Croydon's environmental record, and that if anyone has any complaints they will act on them quickly.

The Corner of Bedford Park and Wellesley Road Croydon
I have put together an automated slide show of pictures of this squalid part of Croydon. Please be patient, it may take a few minutes whilst it loads.Here you can see a prime example of dereliction and decay.
A long since abandoned office block and waste land, combine to form a hideous eyesore.
The area has been in a state of decay for at least the last three years; and not surprisingly, is being used by "fly tippers" to dump their waste. In an attempt to "improve" the eyesore, the authorities have erected a particularly ugly set of iron railings and wooden boarding.
This should be a prime piece of real estate in Croydon; it is opposite the Home Office (you would have thought that they would have complained!), close to the Whitgift Shopping Centre and near to schools, churches and residential dwellings. Yet it resembles the Bronx in New York. As our ever popular Council (who won my prestigious “Worse Than Worthless” award last year) says, they are trying to get Croydon recognised as a place to make films; clearly this part of Croydon would be well suited to filming the urban decay and dereliction of the Bronx.
(careful Ken you might be sued by the Mayor of New York insulting their town like that)
Welcome to Croydon!
If you feel that something should be done about this area then write to the Council, the media and your local MP (remember to refer to this site).
