Croydon London Coasters
Croydon Blues- Croydon London Coasters. Singles or Set of 2 coasters.
Featuring the gritty industrial 'ikea chimneys' and the brutalist 50p building.
'Cronx', as Croydon is referred to sometimes, probably never makes it to tourist brochures of London.Industrial and rough around the edges, the architecture of the area is quite like marmite, love it or hate it. These disused chimneys still standing tall, and the gasholder of Waddon Marsh- sole remnant of the large Croydon gasworks, gives us an idea of the history of the area.
No 1 Croydon, also nicknamed the 50p building, or the 'wedding cake' was built by the legendary Richard Seifert in 1970.To me this looks like a lego building, a jigsaw puzzle with pieces locking together in place.
Specs: The coasters measure 10 x 10cm, about 5mm thick. Cork backed hardboard, and matte laminated finish. They come in a smart, minimal black match-box style packaging.
The print on the coasters have a lovely texture (check the close up on pic 4), that almost look concrete -ish. (if you need any more info about them, please send me a message!)
They make for a unique housewarming gift, for a Londoner or a lover of London architecture, or even a treat for yourself this season.
Care: Please wipe with damp cloth.
