Check out these hand-coloured photos of well-known Carshalton scenes. They are provided here with kind permission of Andrea Charlton, who now lives in Australia. She said: “I thought you all might enjoy the Greetings from Carshalton postcard my parents bought to send home when we lived there in the early sixties. Can anyone find recent photos of the same spots? I love that sort of thing…🖐”

I think that is the Grove ,, yo can just make out the sunken garden on the right and many of the trees are still there .. I love Carshalton…..
Do we think this image is The Grove? Without railings. I’m not sure
I’ve still got the originals somewhere. I’ll see if I can find them as there may be a date on the back. I’ve noticed that others from my parents collection were obviously images captured well before they bought them so perhaps nobody minded?
That would be interesting, thanks
I believe that the pictures are per 1960 may be pre war or 1940
Thanks for your comment. I think you could be right that it’s earlier, especially looking at the old car…
