I decided to stick close to home and venture out into a rainy Croydon Creek Nature Center. I made the mistake of not eating before I went so I was in pretty bad shape by the time I got back to my car. I also lost a shoe to a mud puddle and had to dig it out.
Still, it was TOTALLY worth it!
Croydon Airport was the key UK airport prior to WW11 and is known for a couple of significant world first's, namely the first terminal building and the first control tower. If that wasn't enough Charles Lindbergh landed here after making the first solo Atlantic flight and Amy Johnston departed from and returned to Croydon on the first solo flight to Australia. Alas other more appropriate airports were built to handle the growing air traffic trade at Heathrow and Gatwick so Croydon ceased to operate in 1959.
To commemorate the history a De Havilland Heron has been mounted outside off the terminal building.
My picture dates back too 2004 and includes an array of period motor cars. I was probably unhappy at the time having to include these in my shot, but as times have changed these cars too have probably become history.
I originally planned on going to Meadowside Nature Center out toward Norbeck, but when my wife and I got there we were uncomfortable with how many people were there, especially unmasked. With that in mind, we turned around and decided to go hiking at Croydon Creek Nature Center instead.
I always seem to keep coming back to this little hidden jewel.
First time I've been able to get out and shoot in Croydon Creek Nature Center since Covid started.
My son is visiting from Pittsburgh and we wanted a place to be away from people and I wanted to try my new Freewell variable ND filters, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity.
Built 1927-28 by the Directorate of Works and Buildings, Air Ministry. In a Neo-Baroque style, faced with cast-stone blocks and with giant-order pilasters. This was Croydon Airport Terminal Building between 1928 and 1959, one of the first purpose-built air terminals in the world. Heathrow took over as London's main airport in 1946 and this Grade II listed building is now used as offices. Purley Way, London Borough of Croydon.
