The Croydon Sweet Club

A Memory of Croydon.

I have great memories of going to the Croydon Sweet Club and dancing the night away to sounds of the Liquidator and many more reggae songs, dressed in two-tone tonic suits and doing a lot of stomping.
I was only 14/15 years old and was still at school and had my first ever drink of cider at the Sweet.
I lived in Mitcham but used to go to Croydon. I remember pony rides at Kennards store when I was a kid and then going to Lyons tea house as a treat.
Grants, Kennards and Alders ruled long before the Whitgift Centre was built.
My great-grandfather ran the Swan and Sugar Loaf pub.
My maiden name was Lindsay.
