The bollards at the back of even-numbered houses in Ruskin Road are clear to all to see. They mark the extent of the huge underground air raid shelter built by Carshalton Urban District Council in 1939 prior to the outbreak of World War Two.  Please don’t park your vehicle over the shelter!

The park, along with surrounding houses, is within the Carshalton Park Conservation Area, the establishment of which Cllr. Hamish Pollock was involved with as one of the then two local councillors in the early 1990s.
