At the end of the year, it is good to review a few things that have improved locally despite the world’s economic woes.
Carshalton Park's Rebuilt Piers & Railings
At Carshalton Park, the railings and the piers are in the best condition that they have been for several decades following the programme of repainting of the ornate metal railings and the more recent Council-financed rebuilding of a number of the brick piers supporting those railings ably assisted by the sterling efforts of the local Rotary Club of Carshalton Beeches.

There is also an interesting item of street furniture in the grass on The Park as illustrated which we think is a ventilation stack from the sewerage system….
About 7-8 years ago Hamish worked with Thames Water to get a number of the tall ventilation stack pipes repainted in and around Carshalton Central working along side Mr. Gordon Rookledge’s Friends of Historic Street Furniture.
