Hill Farm was also known as ’Pig Farm’ or ’Rye Farm’.

In a sales catalogue of 1828 when the estate of Henry Hoare was sold, it had no name at all. Daniel Tye was mentioned as the tenant.

The farm was mainly specialised at the time of the sale in livestock, although there was some arable land mentioned. There was a large timber barn at the farm.

By the time of the 1841 census, William North was listed as the farmer, though in the 1851 census, nobody was listed as living at the farmhouse.

In 1852, William Goodson of "Hill Farm, Carshalton" won a highly-commended award at Smithfield Cattle Show in London for his pen of Essex pigs. He lived at the farm with his wife, a maidservant and William Clarke. After William Goodson’s death, Clarke remained at the farmhouse for some years.

Captain Thomas Goodson and his family were the next resident, listed as living there in 1891 but not as a farmers - Thomas was a JP.

Vicker Road
The road ’Vickers Road’ is numbered rather differently to other roads in the area as it was originally built as housing for the "Vickers" arms factory in the late 1800’s and early 1900s. Most of the houses still retain the original 19th century tiling and drainage outside of the front doors.

Frank Whipple Place, E14
Frank was my great-uncle, I’d often be ’babysat’ by Peggy while Nan and Dad went to the pub. Peggy was a marvel, so full of life. My Dad and Frank didn’t agree on most politics but everyone in the family is proud of him. A genuinely nice, knowledgable bloke. One of a kind.

My 2 x great grandparents and his family lived here according to the 1841 census. They were Dutch Ashkenazi Jews born in Amsterdam at the beginning of the 19th century but all their children were born in Spitalfields.

Religious procession along Wrythe Lane (1919) Wrythe Lane, an ancient lane, was originally the most direct route from Carshalton to Morden. Until the twentieth century, it was a wide country lane and lined by hedges. Until the late 19th century, Wrythe Lane had been known as Spartelmy Lane or Sparkelmy Green Lane. Wrythe Green itself was called Sparkman’s Green.
