Croydon Spaceport Historical Map and Guide

One misguided step for Norman “Nails” McAvity, several thousand small steps (and possibly a couple of tram rides) for modern-day Croydonauts…

Nearly 60 years after the London Borough of Croydon’s plucky attempt to put the first South Londoner on the moon, celebrated Croydon Spaceport archivist Tom Murphy has produced this fold-out map and guide, featuring some of the key sites from this much-overlooked piece of suburban space history.

This must-have souvenir includes all your favourite stories and characters from Ad Astra Per Croydon – plus previously unseen photographs and a brand new anecdote about David Bowie’s ill-fated visit to the spaceport canteen in 1969.
