The area of Sutton Common Park was formerly 'glebe' land administered for the benefit of the people of Sutton. In September 1926, Sutton Urban District Council Finance and Parliamentary Committee recommended a definitive offer of £4,000 for the land now known as Sutton Common Park. This was purchased in 1927. For the history and people's recollections of Sutton Common Park see http://www.foscp.org.uk/new/history.htm This view looks to the end of Hartland Way where it meets the path between Romany Gardens and Elm Road West.
