Looking east along the High Street, with the base of the Clock Tower visible on the left, and the entrance to Boots on the right. Just ahead, below the tree, is a drinking trough provided by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association. The white sided building on the right, projecting slightly (and now the Nationwide Building Society), and to its right, the much smaller Nell Gwynne House, are the only historic buildings on the right hand side of the High Street visible here and in this Francis Frith photo dating from 1924: http://www.francisfrith.com/epsom/photos/high-street-1924_75371a/ and http://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/frith.php?id=2361498 . On the left side of the road can be seen a three-storey building which now houses (among others) the post office. There is now no sign of the King's Head, which was on the site now occupied by Boots.
