More about this scene

Carshalton's ponds, which are spring-fed and lead to the River Wandle, are a most attractive feature in the centre of the village. Further lakes and streams flow through the grounds of The Grove, which was once a private house, but is now a delightful public park. In this view looking southwest from Honeywood Walk to Pound Street, the Greyhound pub is part 18th-century and part 19th-century Jacobean. On the right is Honeywood House, pictured here before it was extended in 1903. It is now the London Borough of Sutton's Heritage Centre.

Nice neighbours- the Radfords at number 16 and the Huttons at 22. We had a plot of land between us and number 18- Miss Vine- which was sold for building when we moved.
