Friends of Addiscombe Railway Park - Home Page
Welcome
This site is provided by the Friends of the Addiscombe Railway Park.
The park is all that remains of the Addiscombe station rail link when the station was demolished in 2001 to make way for a housing project. As the rail line was too narrow for housing it was discarded and adopted by Croydon Council.
To learn more about the parks historical past visit our heritage page.
