For what it is worth on site: == History ==
Dating back to 1840 the land was first utilised by settlers for grazing and the first road cut through the area now known as Croydon, was initially known as Sawmill Road, as a sawmill was nearby. The decade a suburb went up tells us what the point of attachment will look like. Coverage around Croydon extends through Croydon Hills, Croydon North, Croydon South and Kilsyth without any change in how a job is quoted.
Our workshop is in Boronia, 7.9 kilometres north of Croydon. That proximity is the whole reason we can hold a fixed quote rather than pricing in the unknown. Croydon railway station sits in the suburb, which is a fair marker of where the oldest housing in Croydon tends to be.
Also worth knowing about the area: The Post Office opened on 1 December 1883 after the railway line was established. Another piece of background on the suburb: On 1 August 1884 it was renamed Croydon railway station.
