For many years, Route 166 terminated here, outside the Mid Day Sun public house (to the left of the photographer). As this photograph was taken on a Sunday, the route number shown by the bus is 166A, because on Sundays the other end of the route was at a different place from the usual Monday to Saturday working. In the background here is seen the bridge carrying the Tattenham Corner branch railway over the B2032 road. In the last few years, Route 166 has been altered and now runs through to Banstead or Epsom; it is now worked with single-deckers. However, the buses still pull in to this old off-road terminal point in both directions
