  Croydon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Croydon, England is a major suburban town and commercial centre 9.5 miles (15.3 km) south of Charing Cross and the principal town in the London Borough of Croydon.
In 1965 the County Borough of Croydon was abolished and its former area was transferred to Greater London and combined with that of the Coulsdon and Purley Urban District to form the present-day London Borough of Croydon.
Croydon Clocktower, built by the London Borough of Croydon in the mid-1990s, houses a state-of-the-art library, the David Lean cinema, a performance venue in the old reference library and the town museum.

 Surrey Iron Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nine-mile route followed the shallow valley of the River Wandle, then heavily industrialised with numerous factories and mills, running from the River Thames in the north southwards to Croydon (a short branch also ran from Mitcham to Hackbridge).
The line was subsequently extended through Purley and Coulsdon to serve quarries near Godstone and Merstham (known as the Croydon Merstham and Godstone Railway: opened 1805, closed 1838).
The route, however, was reopened in 1855 by the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway, which was later absorbed by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway.

The Surrey Iron Railway; The Croydon, Merstham and Godstone Railway; The Croydon Canal; and London Bridge
The use of Surrey’s pioneer railways for transporting stone from Merstham to Wandsworth in connection with the rebuilding of London Bridge in 1825-31 has been queried (1).
Merstham line (a good Lower Chalk grey or hydraulic line) very probably was used in the mortar for the new structure; clearly the only place for Marathon firestone would have been as rubble filling, and I do not recall it being retorted from the demolition.
