Upper High Street from the junction with Church Street. Formerly known as Station Road, because the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway built a line to Epsom in 1847 which terminated at Epsom Town station, about half way up Station Road. The buildings are recognisable from this Francis Frith photo taken in 1902: http://www.francisfrith.com/epsom/photos/station-road-1902_48086/ and http://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/frith.php?id=2361693 , although the closure of the station in 1929 has meant that, over the years, the focal point of the town has shifted west towards Epsom station and the Ashley Shopping Centre.
