 Croydon North Primary School - History
The history of the Croydon North Primary School has been both long and interesting with the school’s foundations going back to almost the very beginnings of Government funded schooling in Victoria.
During this time there was a major transformation of Croydon from a predominantly semi rural based community to one of extensive new housing in a suburban setting; most houses however were built on larger blocks of land at least ¼ of an acre in size.

 Railways of Britain2
Thornton Heath pond which is north of Croydon on the London road was the site of the Croydon Corporation tram depot and home to the Croydon Corporation Tramways Department headquarters.
The original down side eastern entrance of West Croydon station was closed with the opening of the new entrance and was used as a waiting room for the Green line country buses operated by the LPTB in the 1930’s.
This was because the eastern side of the road was outside the county borough of Croydon.

 CULG - Victoria Line
The Victoria Line has always been tied up with plans to relieve loadings on the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line and to provide a route from the Lea valley area of northeast London to the West End.
North of Victoria the route slipped eastwards, calling at Green Park, Oxford Circus, King's Cross St. Pancras, Barnsbury, Finsbury Park, Manor House, and Seven Sisters before splitting, with one branch to Blackhorse Road and Walthamstow Hoe Street and the other surfacing south of Northumberland Park where it would use the LNER tracks to Waltham Cross.
The name "Victoria Line" was chosen through a lack of any better ideas; attempts to repeat the (accidental) success of "Bakerloo" produced only the rather dubious "Walvic Line" and the better, though historically irrelevant, "Viking Line".

 Walkabout - Croydon
The railway was built to transport gold and people from Croydon to the port at Normanton.
The area had been settled in the early 1880s by pastoralists and it was W. Brown, the manager of Croydon Downs Station, who, in November 1885, discovered gold.
The other North Queensland goldmines had been exhausted by this time and so the miners, ever eager to find a new field, moved across to Croydon in vast numbers.
