It was designed by Richard Seifert & Partners and completed in 1970. It has 24 storeys and is 269 feet (82 m) high. 'NLA' stood for 'Noble Lowndes Annuities'. It was one of many new buildings constructed in the growing town of Croydon in the 1960s. The development of tall buildings was later encouraged in the 2004 London Plan, which led to the erection of new skyscrapers as Greater London went through a high-rise boom.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:40 UTC on Wednesday, 20 March 2024.For the full current version of the article, see No. 1 Croydon on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Joanna Standard.

From Romania to Real EstateAdina shares she was born in Romania and moved over to America when she was just 10 years old. Bouncing around Europe and the US growing up, she landed herself a career in real estate with Knight Frank in 2010 in commercial brokerage. Loving it immediately, she found an inspiring mentor within her first boss, who ignited her passion for the market that they were building, which was the prime office market in Romania.Determining this was the career for her, but maybe not the location, Adina returned to New York in 2012 landing herself a place in the esteemed NYU graduate programme in real estate finance. Whilst accomplishing this, she happened to find herself a role within the emerging market of multi-family/Build to Rent. Missing the sex appeal of the commercial real estate and Europe she moved back to London to join Greystar.Adina worked on enviable development acquisitions, such as the Ten Degrees project, which is the world's tallest modular building located in East Croydon. Adina shares she is now getting back into the more diversified rental living space with MGT, across the spectrum from urban to suburban. She has remained committed to the rental living space after stumbling into it a few years back and is driving a focus on the middle-income earners, driving affordability for that renter profile.​The origin of Ladies in Real Estate​Beginning as a humble brunch club with friends from grad school, Adina reveals the idea for Ladies in Real Estate derived from wanting a place to build personal relationships with other women in the industry. A place to exchange views, talk about the market and ultimately making friends in an informal and easy environment.​In wanting to make this a regular occurrence, Ladies in Real Estate was born, and Adina bought the concept across the Atlantic to London. Adina discloses that she had to adjust to the market, as brunch wasn't proving too popular, and that's where the breakfasts entered the picture.It must be 50/50…Adina openly shared that when you looked around in her early career, she struggled to find senior or junior women to form personal relationships with. She noticed it to be easier for men to attain this within the industry. Realising that with creating gender equality, men needed to be bought into the conversation to avoid creating resentment from those that should be allies. The 50/50 breakfasts aim to show just what a balanced room should look and feel like and normalise that feeling within the property sector.

Visit our website https://psycho-killer.co for exclusive videos, photos, articles, and transcripts.In straight-laced Victorian Britain, the railway line between London and the seaside town of Brighton was a bordello on wheels. Inevitably, the secret trysts and dodgy deals conducted in its curtained carriages led to some unsavoury crimes. A series of murders on the Brighton Line shocked polite society and some remain unsolved to this day. Others saw their perpetrators sent to the gallows. Brighton's reputation as a Bohemian playground was matched only by the town's notoriety for violence. The curious characters of Grahame Green's novel Brighton Rock were typical of those Simon Ford and detective Jacques Morrell encountered on this journey through the archives.The Six O'clock Knock is a Psycho Killer production.TranscriptHello and welcome to the Six O'clock Knock, the true-crime podcast that takes a fresh look at murder I'm Jacques Morrell I served as a police officer from 1985 to 2015. my last 12 years in the job was spent exclusively dealing with homicides as a detective sergeant and I'm Simon Ford a journalist and writer I have years of experience in radio and broadcasting I still have a nose for a good story and Jacques is still keen to apply his copper's brain to cases whether solved or not that's right and this episode will focus on murder on the railway of course we touched on the railways a few episodes back didn't we the Frederick Deeming case serial swindler and bigamist with a parshan for murdering his wives yes indeed he used the opportunity to travel that steam trains and steamships gave 19th century society he travelled extensively and he used a different name in every town the Victorian era meant that travel was so much easier and quicker the railways had revolutionized transport replacing those horse-drawn stage coaches that up to then were the quickest way to get from one town to another right mass travel had arrived passengers were less conspicuous traveling in greater numbers the commute had arrived and with it the travelling criminal yeah we're looking at this subject after someone suggested a particular case known as the murder on the Brighton line but when we started digging we found two others on the same stretch of railway line between London and Brighton well as your fellow journalist the late Sir Harry Evans said keep digging the truth is down there somewhere wow it's not often I mentioned in the same breath as the late great Harry Evans so um thanks for that mate and in terms of the truth yes it certainly is so we're going to dig into all those grisly crimes and trust me they are grisly Jacques did you ever deal with any railway cases well not really because railways in the UK have their own police the British Transport Police, or BTP, we occasionally asked them for information or made inquiries relating to people moving through railway premises but to be honest we really saw BTP officers at our police stations well the British transport police force has its roots very early in the history of British policing the earliest record of railway police predates the formation of the metropolitan police usually recognized as the first modern police force in England and Wales by at least four years no one knows just how many individual railway dock and canal police forces existed in the 19th century but they probably numbered over a hundred largely unsung and in many cases unremembered I suppose a modern equivalent would be private security firms in the united states safeguarding the interests and assets of corporations these early forces combined to form the modern BTP we looked at the recent crime figures for the BTP there was a significant rise in all crimes of 12 percent in 2019 Adrian Han stock the deputy chief constable said the record number of passengers using the railways was behind the jump in crime rates which were mainly theft and anti-social behaviour Hanstock put a lot of this down to the fact that railway stations are becoming increasingly commercial environments well that's certainly true anyone familiar with some pancreas station in London will know that the original storage areas below platform level they're now a stylish shopping centre and the Victorian booking office is a bar and a restaurant the force also reported a surge in the number of vulnerable people it dealt with including through providing mental health support officers and rail staff performed 2529 life-saving interventions up 32 percent on the year before despite this there were only six homicides on the British railway network in 2018 to 19. one was the awful death of 51 year old Lee Pomeroy who was stabbed to death by a paranoid schizophrenic after an argument on a train maybe there is an argument for the BPT to be amalgamated into the regional forces to share experience and intelligence public transport will only increase in the years to come integrated management of our transport network imagine that so do criminals use the rail network as a way of getting about or do they prefer to use the roads instead well of course they use both but you know over the years I've thought about how the world has changed not just in a policing sense but how society has changed in how it moves around if I'm completely honest the core has a lot to answer for this may be just my opinion but the car has made us selfish and anti-social we treat the car as an extension of our private lives whilst it's given us choice and freedom to move around when we want to we seem to enjoy the anonymity that the car brings us and as policing has taught me the public don't like it when they're challenged do they no I suppose not we all resent being stopped by the police or getting a fixed penalty notice through the post I know I do how dare they take a photo of me driving through that red traffic light not that I make a habit of it incidentally I suppose the car has also allowed criminals to operate in even wider areas and as you say Jacques being less conspicuous you're spot on burglars are the best example dwelling house burglars usually have a rule of not [ __ ] on their own doorstep they prefer to steal from neighbouring estates or areas they were passing through they always had a problem though how to transport their ill-gotten gains now jewellery and cash is not a problem electrical goods not so easy the car changed all that not only does the car provide transport and storage they don't stand out or look out of place do they it's just another car driving on a public road privacy no interaction with the public yeah I get it I'm trying to imagine myself as a burglar and having to use public transport while carrying the contents of somebody else's house with me I've got a heavy hold all bulging with jewellery and ornaments candlesticks that sort of thing a Sony PlayStation and I'm having to plan my getaway so 10 minute walk to the station buy a ticket wait around a bit I'm restricted by the timetable several people might see me look at me heavens even speak to me that's it and the car changed all that within a couple of hours at any time of day a criminal could drive to another town commit a crime drive to a different town dispose of the goods then return home the risks of being stopped by the police you'd take your chance even if the police showed an interest in you, you could hide any evidence in the worst case scenario you could fail to stop for them and try and get away yeah I see what you mean there the car allows people to move around unnoticed at a time to suit them protected by a metal shell things were very different 140 years ago it is 1881. the telephone has not long been invented Matthew Webb has recently swung the English channel and unwittingly his image has made it onto millions of matchboxes the first Boer war has just ended in south Africa where the British got their butts kicked two years ago 75 people died in the Tay bridge railway disaster in Scotland this case is much further south almost as far south as you can get on the British mainland in Brighton on the south coast of England [Music] the London and Brighton railway opened in 1841 and it brought Brighton within the reach of day-trippers from London the population grew from around seven thousand in eighteen hundred and one to more than a hundred and twenty thousand by nineteen hundred and one in 1881 there was overcrowding and disease clean water and sanitation would desperately needed just 47 miles from London the train was popular the regular service to the capital went to Croydon and then split into two one line to London Victoria and the other to London bridge stations on the route from London included East Croydon, Three Bridges, Hayward's Heath, Willsfield, Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Preston park. It's Monday the 27th of June at 2pm Preston park is a small quiet station serving a village on the outskirts of Brighton the ticket collector watches the arrival of the train from London bridge a male passenger gets off there's something about him that draws the ticket collector's attention the man emerges from the first class compartment and steps onto the platform he seems unsteady on his feet he's not wearing a hat which is unusual nor is he wearing the collar and tie even more concerning he's covered in blood he seems distressed the collector goes to his assistants the man mumbled something about having been attacked as the train entered Merced tunnel now Merston tunnel is just south of Croydon and several stops from Preston park probably a 30 minute journey Read more: https://bit.ly/brighton-line-transcript

Last summer the musician Tim van Eyken had to make a distress call while afloat. He was struck by how, at the moment of greatest tension and stress, the language used was calm itself. Instructions were simple and clear. Indeed, during the crisis language itself almost disappeared through the imposition of radio silence (the call 'Seelonce, Seelonce') clearing the airwaves so rescuers could listen solely to signals from those who had called for help. Tim van Eyken, the dramatist Joseph Wilde and radio producer Julian May trace the history, the development of the language of the call for help, from the initial Mayday procedure created by Frederick Mockford. A radio operator at East Croydon airport, in 1923 he was asked for a word that would indicate distress and would easily be understood by all in an emergency. They gather recordings of distress calls and the conversations between those in danger (whose language is often very dramatic and heart rending - "Now. Now. Please. Come Now.") and their rescuers, terse, calm, yet urgent. Joe writes a drama for the actress Susan Jameson ; Julian uses calls, responses, instructions, and song, make a story in sound of the call for help. They delve into how we call for help: from a new born baby's first cry, then the reluctance to do so, that shameful admittance of need, to the point at which we become beyond help (forever in 'seelonce'), yet help is given. We hear from a midwife, a psychotherapist, a coastguard, a pilot, the great undertaker poet, Thomas Lynch - and there's a song from Jackie Oates. Producer: Julian May.
