Visitor Information Centre which houses significant collections of
heritage items, information displays, an audio visual in its theatre and an internet service. The centre can direct you to the outdoor
heritage displays, a mining machinery collection and grand old
heritage buildings. Grab your self-guided brochure and enjoy the Croydon story.
