Entrance to St Nicholas Centre, Sutton
The southern entrance to the pedestrianised High Street of the triple-floored shopping mall. The town's character appraisal comments that the "large buildings in these new developments interrupt the rhythm of the historic High Street and often introduce building materials and colours not in keeping with the older buildings" http://www.opinionsuite.com/sutton/highways-environment-and-planning/crossroads_consultation/supporting_documents/Draft%2520High%2520Street%2520Crossroads%2520Character%2520Appraisal.pdf&sa=U&ei=5eeATbbnBsqAhQebjomwBw&ved=0CBcQFjADOAo&sig2=8lw46Sn28imen48IJ-2lIA&usg=AFQjCNG6Am-Bz91MVyuhbV5VAhgyD8qVPg .

Wildflower meadow in Manor Park
Manor Park was formed from the grounds of three large suburban houses which stood along Carshalton Road, and a fourth in Manor Park Road. The latter, and largest, was called Manor Park House and gave its name to the park. In 1914, Sutton Urban District Council acquired Manor Park House and its grounds. The park was opened by the Chairman of the Urban District Council on 25th May, 1914.
This area of wild flowers is clearly very recently sown as it is so colourful. Wildflower meadows tend not to be quite so full of wild flowers after a few years.

Sutton - Waterworks
These huge water reservoirs were located just north of the Carshalton Road (A232) to the east of Sutton. They were built in 1906 as part of the water-softening plant and were demolished in the 1980s for large-scale building development.
