I think I remember the advert being played regularly on Capital Radio and I would guess it was some time between 1979 (when I started secondary school) and 1981 (when I moved out of London for a few years). So about four to six years after the original Croydon branch opened.

When The Whitgift was built, it was the largest Shopping Centre in Europe.
When Allders was built it was the largest Department Store in Europe.

I doubt I'd still be alive today if I'd continued to eat their "three quarter pounders" at the rate I did.

And now all you can buy in either of them are skimpy sparkly low cut dresses for £10 that only a prostitute would wear. Needless to say, they sell really well.

What have they done to my town.

It was indeed (and his only paid employment), the school was then known as Davidson Road School. He lodged at 12 Colworth Road in Addiscombe.

A fellow teacher - and the one with whom he corresponded long after he'd left Croydon - was Arthur William McLeod who later became headmaster of John Ruskin Grammar School.

The Greyhound was a popular drinking destination - Lawrence drank there with his landlord and often met fellow teachers there on a Saturday morning.
