The Grove
House built c.1840 which for many years served as a rectory. In the 1920s the then owner, Sir Samuel Barrow, owner of a tanners and leather merchants in Bermondsey, sold it to Carshalton Urban District Council. Having been used as Council offices (latterly Sutton Borough Council) for many years, it is now proposed to convert it to social housing.

The Grove, Carshalton
The Grove was named after a grove of trees which used to be here and was one of Carshalton's most striking sights. In the 18th century it was said that "Upon the east bank of the canal is a beautiful grove of high trees through which are walks conducted in a serpentine form that lead to an ornamental building or temple situated near the centre." In 1924 Carshalton Council bought The Grove estate. This is The Grove house of 1825. It is now Council offices.

Shops and bus stop in Carshalton High Street
Taken in 1973 this shows two features which have both disappeared long ago: firstly the Post Office, now closed with the building finding other commercial uses; and second the elaborate 'bus and coach stop' design, which has disappeared not only here but everywhere else in London. The seat is now presumably occupied by a new generation of 'gaffers'.
