Here is a picture of the Carshalton Road letter box newly-repainted gold by the Post Office to celebrate the success in the 2012 Olympics of a Carshalton-born competitor.
Joanna Rowsell, who was born in Carshalton, is now a Cheam resident, and she has won a Gold Medal as an Olympic Cyclist. Our heartiest congratulations to Joanna!
Carshalton's Gold Letter Box
At the time of writing with just two days of competition to go the Team GB had attained a total of no less than 25 Gold Medals, an unprecedented achievement for this country in the modern era of the Olympic Games ranking behind the United States and China.
The letter box is located on the north side of the road between Alma Road and Shorts Road and is quite close to Carter House, the new flats development at 229-245 Carshalton Road.
