Carshalton Park Canal

Carshalton, Surrey.

 

The Grotto and ornamental canal were built in 1724 at the location of one of the sources of the River Wandle. With the lowering of the water table in the London basin, it has been dried up for most of my life.

 

However, the recent rain has refilled it to quite an amazing degree, for the first time in fifteen years according the local paper.
