Rayner Close, CARSHALTON, SM5 3AY

Road first marked in outline on the 1913 25 inch map and with full development on the 1935 edition. On the right of the photo is the sewer vent column in Image

Sewer vent column in Wallace Crescent, one of at least 31 such columns in the old Carshalton UDC area (see description below - this is no 26 on the map, although the positioning there is incorrect, being shown c.150m too far south and the wrong side of Rusking Road). This example has the arrow above the crown at the top of the column. Grade II listed - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1468339?section=official-list-entry.

A road marked on the 1913 25 inch map, with the left hand two of this group, nos 31 and 33, being shown there. The right hand section, no 35, despite its similar appearance, would seem to be much later, not being shown even on the 1957 1:1250 map.

A road marked on the 1913 25 inch map, but with only a few houses shown on this section north of Ruskin Road; the ones here are first marked on the 1935 edition.

Church hall on Ruskin Road originally built to house the local Methodist congregation, which since 1861 had met in a chapel on North Street where Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church now stands (see Image). The foundation stones were laid on 30 September 1911 and the building was completed the following year. For close ups of the foundation stones, see Image, Image, Image, Image and Image With the rapid development of Carshalton in subsequent years, it became too small for the congregation and a new church was built next door, completed in 1926. The front of this can be seen on the left of this photo - see Image for a photo of the whole building. The original building included a spire on the corner turret but this was removed in 1926 on completion of the new church.

Built 1911.

Two of the six foundation stones on the façade of Ruskin Hall (see Image). These ones read "This stone was laid by G Spencer Knight Esq JP, Brockley September 30th 1911" and "This stone was laid by J Tyler Esq, Carshalton September 30th 1911".
