Hello
I have a question about something I dug up in my garden a while ago.
I currently live in Croydon but about 14 years ago, when I was around 7 years old, I lived in West Norwood, in Lambeth. I was helping my dad by digging in the garden one day when I came across a small lump covered in soil. I cleaned it up best I could and found that it was a sort of coin. But it isn't a currency coin. My dad said something about it being an old railway token. I have never found out any more about what it was though and I thought now with the internet I might find somebody who could help me work it out.
On one side it says "Knight Bros" round the top, then "GNR Kings" in the middle and "Cross" on the bottom. The other side is less distinct but appears to be a large "1" and a smaller "S".
If anybody can shed any light on what this is I'd be interested. I don't expect it to have financial value, I am just interested in what is it and when it might date from. Thanks a lot.
