The petition reads: We the undersigned deplore the proposal to demolish the Grand Theatre and call upon the Croydon Borough Council to reject outright this attempt to close Croydons only live theatre and presumably was compiled c.1958-9 as the Grand closed on 18 April 1959. The petition is signed by actors and actresses who give their address as various London Theatres so this is presumably where they were appearing. Signatories include Fenella Fielding, Sybil Thorndike, Dora Bryan, Daniel Massey, Peter Finch, Nigel Stock and Jimmy Edwards.

Large photograph album, in a fragile condition with some loose pages. The album is mainly holiday photographs (Isle of Wight, Bexhill, Eastbourne etc) but with some Croydon photographs, including interiors. These include:
