Historical version 9 of Timpson, 3 Crown Hill (view current version)
- 3 Crown Hill, CR0 1RY
Shoe repair place at the Crown Hill end of Church Street.
As of July 2012, the frontage advertises shoe repairs, key cutting, engraving, watch repairs, sharpening, house signs, trophies, and chipped car keys. However, on asking in the same month, the staff informed us that they do not in fact do knife sharpening.
Accessibility: A step to get in; because the shop is on a hill, this step is much taller at one side than at the other.
According to a photo on Flickr, as of c. 1985 the premises (along with those of its neighbour American Express Travel Services) were occupied by a shop called Saxone.
According to another photo on Flickr, as of January 2009 it was a "shoe repair and keysmiths" shop called Croydon Cobblers.
Existence last checked in July 2012.
