Croydon Monastery, Down Memory Lane, Ground Floor

A January visit to the Monastery, now Sacred Heart Parish, Croydon. Previous posts have shown the chapel extensions to become the parish church.

Now we move around the cloister to check whether those of us who studied or worked at Croydon remember what these locations looked like.

The top photo is from the centre of the cloister at the entrance to the stairs

Check your memories of the laundry

And the kitchen

The scullery looks much the same

The dining room even more so (tables and chairs are the same as we knew them)

And Patrick O'Carrigan's large painting is still in place after almost 50 years.

Who would have thought the theologians’ class room would look like this?

Even more so this renovated “Fathers’ recreation room”?

Next Croydon post we will go upstairs.
