Carshalton and Wallington

There will be a talk on Mervyn Peake at Carshalton Library at 7.30pm on 27th October. Entitled The Significance of the letter P, it will be given by a great Peake enthusiast, John Monks.

Another point of local interest is the plaque erected on the site of 55 Woodcote Road, Wallington, a mile away from Carshalton. Now a block of flats, this homage to Mervyn Peake is affixed to the outside of the building, on the site of what was once his father's house.
