3 minute history

3-Minute History is my ongoing series of short videos about Croydon’s past.

Each episode is a brief dip into our borough’s history that celebrates people, places and progress with photos, newspaper cuttings and contemporary narratives.

From lost landmarks to local lives, each video brings a slice of Croydon’s story to life - in just three minutes.

Watch the series 3 Minute History on YouTube.

3 Minute History is researched, written and visualised by Tim Longhurst. I enjoy bringing local history to life through short stories and documentaries.
