This fascinating collection of over 200 old photogrpahs from the Archive and Local Studies Collections of the London Borough of Sutton gives an excellent introduction to the recent history of this easter side of the Borough. The selection inludes images from an early as 1860 and captures some of the major changes seen by local people since the time when Carshalton, Wallington and Beddington were rural villages on the outskirts of London.Expanding steadily in the second half of the nineteenth century they were overwhelmed by surburban development in the 1920s and '30s and the transformation from countryside to urban sprawl was complete by 1939.Although this overall pattern of development was common to them all, the three communities had, and continue to have, distinct identities. The differences and similarities in their history are fully explored and give some clues to their present appearance and circumstances.

There have been poor countries and rich countries since countries first began, but only in the 20th century - the century of nationalisms and ethnic cleansings - have controls been implemented to stop movement between them. The argument for immigration controls stems from the belief, inherently xenophobic, that richer countries will be "flooded", "invaded", or "swamped" by "tidal wave" of migrants and that this will lead to increased unemployment amongst the native population. Quite simply, this is not true: overwhelmingly, unequivocally, the evidence supports the opposite thesis. According to Harris, immigration considerably enriches the host nation both scientifically and culturally. Immigrants do the jobs that most native workers do not want or cannot do. Without immigration our economies would dissolve. Nigel Harris shows exactly why and how immigration is the lifeline of the developed world's economy, using examples from all over the world to prove how immigration makes both the rich and the poor richer and acts as the final safeguard against such ugly world phenomena as racism, nationalism, and intolerance.
