Wallington is a town in the London Borough of Sutton, England, 10.3 miles south south-west of Charing Cross. Before the Municipal Borough of Beddington and Wallington merged into the London Borough of Sutton, it was part of the county of Surrey. Wallington is a post town in the SM postcode area. The town is home to three of the borough's five grammar schools. The London Borough of Sutton is a top performing borough for education in the country.
The name Wallington derives from the Anglo Saxon Waletone, meaning village of the Britons. Wallington appears in Domesday Book of 1086 and was held by William the Conqueror. Its domesday assets were: 11 hides. It had 2 mills worth £1 10s 0d, 11 ploughs, 8 acres (32,000 m2) of meadow. It rendered £10. The historic village was situated somewhat to the north of the current town centre around what is now Wallington Bridge over the River Wandle.
What was then called Carshalton railway station was opened in 1847 in the open fields to the south of Wallington because the owner of Carshalton Park objected to it being built near to Carshalton village. This acted as a spur to the development of the area and in the 1860s Nathaniel Bridges created a prestigious housing estate of gothic revival villas (architect E. L. Brock). To provide a church for the estate, Bridges sponsored the construction of Holy Trinity, and Wallington became a separate parish in 1867. The area around Holy Trinity Church is known as Wallington Old Town. In particular Clifton Road, Belmont Road and Park Road exhibit some imposing Victorian and Edwardian villas. This southward development continued towards Woodcote and by the time of the First World War the section of Woodcote Road to the south of the station had become the new High Street.
Wallington was an important centre for the production of lavender oil until about the time of the First World War. Lavender and herb growing were very prominent in the area in Victorian times and much earlier, and extensive fields of lavender were to be seen in the Carshalton, Beddington and Wallington areas. Lavender growing was a very prosperous part of the local agriculture hereabouts in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In Wallington the area to the north of the station was chiefly used. The scale of the operation can be understood from the fact that the Daily News in 1914 was able to state that at nearby Carshalton Beeches In every direction the low hill sides of the farm beyond Beeches Halt are swept with the bloomy pastel tint of the lavender flowers.
Since 2007 new retailers have opened in Wallington, including Tesco Express and Caffè Nero. These were in addition to existing retailers including Sainsbury's, Boots, W.H. Smith, Dorothy Perkins and Pizza Express, banks, estate agencies and building societies.
There have been two flats developments opposite the railway station, which were completed circa 2010 and 2013 respectively. More town centre flats in Shotfield Road were completed in 2015.
A farmers' market is held on the second Saturday of each month. This is usually located outside the old town hall, but occasionally in the car park at Shotfield.
Parks in the Wallington area include Mellows Park, Beddington Park and the Grange Gardens. The latter two, through which the River Wandle flows, lie in the north-east of the area, on the border with neighbouring Beddington. Beddington Park is nearly 100 acres in size and is maintained by the London Borough of Sutton. It was originally part of the Deer Park attached to Carew Manor, a grand country house built in the Tudor period, which stands to this day. It comprises a large area of open grassland with small clumps of trees, with an area of more formal gardens near the Grange restaurant, as well as a lake and pond. The main lake in the south west of the park was originally a mill pond. There are many paths and a number of ornamental bridges, which cross the stream which feeds the lake: this is part of the River Wandle, and the park is on the Wandle Trail. Part of the park is managed as a wildlife site.

Beddington Park Time Lapse
First attempt at time lapse, I set the GoPro at 1 frame every 30 seconds. I shot about 700 pictures. Battery lasted about an hour and half. I have on order a Battery BacPac for the GoPro to allow longer filming.
I used a non GoPro Suction mount. Picked this up on Amazon (Patuoxun® Suction Cup Mount 4 GoPro HD HERO HERO2 HERO3 camera+ tripod mount+handle screw) Much cheaper than than the offical one. It held well during the filming. the Tripod mount that came with it didn't fit the GoPro, luckily I already had one. I also bought from Patuoxun, the handle bar mount. I'll do a video with that next time I go out on the bike. Looks pretty good quality though. The suction mount was secured to the outside of the window.
STREATHAM HILL, BEDDINGTON PARK & CRYSTAL PALACE ZOO (8mm amateur, 1963-1964)
This is probably one of my favourite eBay reel purchases. I'm guessing it's shot between 1963 and 1964, because of the very heavy snowfall and then the beehive hairstyle of the woman feeding the bear cub at the zoo. If anyone can identify the residential street (I'm guessing it's in Croydon and has been demolished), do let me know. I'm starting to use ambient sound effect backgrounds on these videos now, and I think it's rather effective.

Carshalton is a suburb of London in the London Borough of Sutton, England. Part of Surrey until 1965, it is located 9.9 miles south-southwest of Charing Cross, situated in the valley of the River Wandle, one of the sources of which is Carshalton Ponds in the centre of the village. Carshalton is centred 1.2 miles (1.9 km) east of the town centre of Sutton.
Carshalton consists of a number of neighbourhoods. The main focal point, Carshalton Village, is visually scenic and picturesque. At its centre it has two adjoining ponds, which are overlooked by the Grade II listed All Saints Church on the south side and the Victorian Grove Park on the north side. The Grade II listed Honeywood Museum sits on the west side, a few yards from the water. There are a number of other listed buildings, as well as three conservation areas, including one in the village. In addition to Honeywood Museum, there are several other cultural features in Carshalton, including the Charles Cryer Theatre and an art gallery in Oaks Park. It is also home to the Sutton Ecology Centre, and every year an environmental fair is held in Carshalton Park to the south of the village.
Carshalton is part of the Carshalton and Wallington parliamentary constituency formed in 1983. Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) has been its MP since 1997. A majority of the population of Carshalton is in the ABC1 social group. To the south of the area now known as Carshalton, remains of artefacts dating from the Neolithic to the Iron Age have been found, suggesting that this was an early place of habitation.
Central Carshalton, around the ponds and High Street, retains a village character, although the busy A232 runs through the area. There are a number of buildings and open spaces protected by the Carshalton Village Conservation Area. given the status by the London Borough of Sutton. In 1993 its boundary was extended to include parts of Mill Lane and parts of The Square and Talbot Road, containing the All Saints Church Rectory. The Conservation Area contains many of the Listed and Locally Listed Buildings which contribute to the historical significance of the area, and is widely considered to contain some of the finest historical architecture and road layout within the Borough. An example is Stone Court, an early 19th-century building with a gate house, situated on the northern edge of Grove Park. The Sun public house, is a fine example of Victorian decorative brickwork, and makes a positive contribution to the Conservation Area.
The Conservation Area also comprises open parkland of historical importance, including the grounds of Carshalton House Estate (which contains St. Philomena’s Catholic School, St Mary’s Junior School, St Mary’s Infants School and the Water Tower) and The Grove Park (which contains The Grove). Other conservation areas in Carshalton are the Wrythe Green Conservation Area and the Park Hill Conservation Area.
The Grade II listed Anglican parish church of All Saints is located at the west end of Carshalton High Street, opposite Carshalton Ponds. Constructed in 1685, Strawberry Lodge is one of Carshalton's oldest buildings. It was built by Josias Dewye. There are two historic lavender fields. One, at Oaks Way, Carshalton Beeches is a not-for-profit community project that manages three acres of lavender.
The Grade II* listed Water Tower (or Bagnio as it was known at the time) was built in the early 18th century, primarily to house a water driven pump supplying water to Carshalton House (now St Philomena's School) and the fountains in its gardens. Little Holland House in Carshalton Beeches was the home of the artist and designer Frank Dickinson. Honeywood is a large Grade II listed house at the western end of the picturesque Carshalton Ponds. At its earliest, it dates from the 17th century but it has been much extended and restored since.
The present day Carshalton Park is situated south of the High Street, in the area bounded by Ruskin Road, Ashcombe Road and Woodstock Road. Grove Park, closest to the village centre, is the best example of a Victorian park in the Borough. Oaks Park is a large park landscaped in a generally naturalistic style, providing downland walks.

In search of the Georgian Grotto in Carshalton Park
I have returned to Carshalton in the South London Borough of Sutton. I am seeking a Georgian Grotto. My helpers are again, Marq English, Emilie Champion and Maya.
The Grotto, situated in the south-east corner of Carshalton park,was built in about 1724 as an ambitious design for landscaping in the park. The structure is now in a state of disrepair and access into its interior is prevented by locked gates. It originally had an ornamental iron gate, a marble pavement and roof covered with shells. A branch of the River Wandle used to rise in a subterranean chalk chamber beneath the Grotto, and flowed through the centre of the park past the mansion house. In early 2014, following months of heavy rain, the river again flowed from the grotto for a time.
