View north from a point close to Sparrowhawk's scrap-metal yard. To the west of the road is farmland on Walton Downs. The royal cipher ('GR') on the pillar-box is that of George V - a fair clue to the date of the first residential development around here. The South Eastern & Chatham Railway opened its extension to Tadworth and Tattenham Corner in 1901: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5608306 The railway runs parallel to Epsom Lane North, a short distance to the east. No doubt the narrow strip of farmland stranded between railway and road was soon bought up by speculative builders.
