War Memorial Sports Ground
Home of Carshalton Athletic Football Club - known as The Robins. Robins fans watch the match against Wingate & Finchley on a misty Tuesday evening. Both Ryman League Premier Division sides were fighting against relegation and the home side lost 1 - 2 on the night, although a draw would have been a fair result.

Carshalton Athletic Football Club
This is the Colston Avenue ground of Carshalton Athletic. [The ladies' team, Milwall Lionesses, also use the same ground]. Carshalton Athletic play in the Ryman Premier Football League. If you live near the ground, why not come along and give them a shout? You will not pay the extortionate prices asked at the big clubs, and will see footbsll played for the love of it, not for money.

Laburnum Avenue, Carshalton, Surrey
I have identified the sites of some twenty of these decorative sewer vents around the former urban district of Carshalton. The exact design of the top varies in that some have the arrow at the top, others below the vents, as here.
Sadly in 2007 some of the vents have been removed, others have lost their distinctive appearance.

The nearest three semi-detached pairs (together with a corresponding trio on the left hand side of the road, off the side of the photo) are marked on the 1913 25 inch map as an isolated group named Laburnum Villas, with no other housing within 300m.
