The prefab estate was not known as Shrublands until it was demolished by Croydon Council in 1959-61 destroying a wonderful close knit community and rebuilt with council houses and flats which I later lived on from 1962-1976. I lived on the prefab estate from 1948-1960 and visited every prefab with my father as he was the estate's Tally Man.We knew every occupier.
