A topographical carte-de-visite showing a view of West Street in the village of Carshalton, Surrey. The sign above the shop in the foreground reads 'Crouch'. It appears to be a general store selling soap, paraffin, etc. Various signs and prices in the window can be read with a strong lens. On the left, a crowd of local children has gathered to watch the photographer at work.
Photographer unidentified.
