Paul Graham (JRGS 1959-66) walks a 20-mile section of the London Loop taking in Addington (Shirley) Hills.
As can be seen, the view from the top was
stunning. Wembley Stadium was a different shape in 1960, and
Canary Wharf etc unheard of. But the BBC and ITV
television transmitter towers at Crystal Palace are unchanged. Way
down in the right hand corner you can see the sails of the windmill in
the former school grounds.
I had forgotten that the viewpoint was provided to commemorate 900
years of Croydon’s history.
