Brief History & Information
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, Mitcham and Wallington areas. There are two historic lavender fields still in Carshalton, one at Oaks Way, Carshalton Beeches, the other, a 25-acre commercial site in Croydon Lane called Mayfield and is popular with tourists.
