Version 29 Version 28
== Line 2 ==
As of early January 2016 there's some sort of building or shopfitting work going on inside.


Business premises on North End near West Croydon Station, vacant as of August 2015. It was previously a pawnbroker and jewellery shop called H Purchen. Still vacant as of December 2015.

According to Ward's street directories, in the mid-1930s the premises were occupied by Zeeta Caterers. The London Tramways website has a photo of the shopfront around this time.

It was H Purchen pawnbrokers by 1967 (see London Road History article). This closed down in late July or early August 2015 — as of July there were signs in the windows indicating a closing-down sale, and by August the shutters were down every time we walked past.
