The Croydon Park Theatre was opened in early-1922. It was a ‘reverse’ theatre, having its screen at the front entrance end of the building. Seating was provided in stalls and circle levels.
It was slightly remodeled in May 1934, to the plans of architect J.C.R. Mills, which included the re-modeling of the proscenium.
The Croydon Park Theatre was closed in 1960, and was converted into a carpet store, which remains in operation today. Both the exterior and interior of the building have had little to none alterations.

The carpet store is called Croydon Park Carpet Factory.
Many years ago (maybe in the 80s) I went to this carpet store looking for an odd piece of edging for a step. The owner took me out the back to se what he could find, I was surprised at how many of the old theatre fittings were still there.
