Jill, Hamish and Alan have over many years been trying to get various street name plates in Carshalton Central ward repainted or replaced where they have gone missing most mysteriously (some old ones have simply disappeared over the recent months – perhaps stolen by scrap metal thieves). If your local street name plate has gone missing or you think it could do with cleaning up or repainting or replacement, please do let us know.
Recently we have got some signs repainted and replaced in the Ashcombe Road area. Another new street name Corbould Close has also appeared in Carshalton as was actually suggested by one of us for the new development off The Park called which recently opened. Corbould is the name of the Reverend W. R. Corbould, Rector of Carshalton from 1919-1957 who did so much for the Parish of Carshalton as well as improving the remarkable Church interior. He was succeeded in 1958 by the Reverend Leigh Edwards and in 2001 by the present incumbent Father John Thewlis.
