<div class="history">
The October 1984 Caterham &amp; Reigate phone book lists Ponderosa Steak &amp; Salad Restaurant at this address, and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6512061307/#comment72157628420042571 a comment on Flickr] confirms that Ponderosa was at these premises.

Later it was a branch of HMV <small>[http://www.webcitation.org/6BMqWz0a4 photo]</small> &#8212; according to a report on page 18 of the 27 July 1990 <i>Croydon Advertiser</i>, this opened in August 1990 (the report says it was due to open on Monday 6 August).

As of December 2011 it was a discount/factory seconds clothes shop called Brand Centre <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6512061307/ photo]</small>. Brand Centre had closed by July 2012, at which point the premises were vacant and covered with scaffolding <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7637674644/ photo]</small>.

A discount clothes shop called Megamart <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8130678082/ photo]</small> opened on the premises in October 2012, but as of early February 2013 Megamart had closed and the interior was stripped out and vacant <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8467340275/ photo]</small>.

In March 2013 Lloyds Banking Group were [https://publicaccess3.croydon.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=ZZZW0SJLXB661&activeTab=summary granted planning permission] (ref 13/00028/P) for use of the premises as a bank. The covering letter attached to their application stated that they intended to relocate their current Lloyds TSB branch at [[Lloyds TSB, 60-61 Whitgift Centre|Unit 60-61 in the Whitgift Centre]] to this location.

As of mid-June 2013, building work was in progress <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9072807945/ photo]</small>, and as of early August 2013 there was a sign up stating that the Lloyds branch is "on its way" <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9437033641/ photo]</small>. As of September 2013 the new frontage and cash machines had been installed <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9816437715/ photo]</small>, and it finally opened in early October 2013.
