Biography

Rob started Secret Carshalton to highlight what a great place it is to live. Rob is a graphic designer by trade and has lived in Carshalton since 2002. This website and social media is a hobby and is designed to be about other people and places, not about himself. He aims to put a positive light on everything and hopes people enjoy the content and being featured. He loves history and enjoys researching and photographing local places. He's not a professional historian of course, but aims to get the facts correct, and to credit people and seek permission where required, and welcomes any clarifications.

The business directory part of the website was developed as a new way to help promote local business, in more detail than usually found on social media - and to help keep Carshalton a vibrant, industrious place. The low fees cover his time and go towards technical costs, and the fees are processed via his company Red Onion Design Ltd. If the people that have paid towards this service are mentioned at any time, they are clearly highlighted as being part of the directory as it's important to Rob that the site is totally impartial.

He hopes you enjoy the website and social media channels, and encourages comments and feedback across them all. If you've got an additional question or query please do get in touch.
