So he has written this fascinating local history to pass on to the people of Croydon, as well to the young people at his old school. They now can have some knowledge of how their district took shape, and what life was like in this Sydney Inner West suburb that has been forgotten. This book is based on original records and papers. (No date, but 1969, Trove.).
