@maisykungfu @SteveThompson6 @modernistsocCRO @MuseumOfCroydon @Grindrod @greencroydon @yourcroydon @HistoricEngland The building was owned by the Land and House Property Corp. Ltd. who encouraged the arts by placing sculptures outside their buildings’. Couldn't turn much up about Land and House Property Corp Ltd either.
@maisykungfu @SteveThompson6 @modernistsocCRO @MuseumOfCroydon @Grindrod @greencroydon @yourcroydon @HistoricEngland The info we have; ‘ M(ichael) H.P. Snare was a technical assistant at Camberwell College of Art when he created this sculpture in 1964. It stood in the entrance of the London Assurance Co. in Dingwall Avenue, Croydon.
@maisykungfu @SteveThompson6 @modernistsocCRO @MuseumOfCroydon @Grindrod @greencroydon @yourcroydon Yes! Sorry I forgot to update. MoC said they'd previously referred the sculpture to @HistoricEngland & one of their researchers tried to find the sculptor without luck.

Wallingtonians - what happened to the 1960s Grange in Beddington Park? It looks like a nice understated post-War building in the postcard (replacing an old house which burnt down). But today, the site looks, well, rather less understated...
