Sisleys Sweet Shop

A Memory of Croydon.

My Mum, sister and I used to go to the Savoy at least once a week, and used to walk from the Sample Shoe shop down the High Street to the Savoy, passing on the way Croydon General Hospital. Along the left hand side of this High Street was a sweet shop that sold their own sweets "home made" and they were delicious!
Coconut Squares were my favourite. The shop used to smell gorgeous. I wonder if any one remembers this shop.
I also remember the Odeon , the Scala , Hippodrome (down Surrey Street)Pallidium, Eros, Classic Davis etc Cinemas. I think there used to be one in the High Street roughly where Allders arcade is now.
                          Can you remeber Kennards arcade, that used to have the little Zoo, and ponies you could ride ? Happy Day's. Croydon was nice then before it became a concrete jungle. Have long sinced moved away, but I still remember the Old Croydon with affection.
