Part of the Leatherhead gyratory system. The wall on the left was originally the retaining wall below the former London and South Western Railway station. This closed in 1927 following the grouping in 1923 which resulted in both that railway and the London Brighton and South Coast Railway both becoming part of the Southern Railway, with the former LB&SCR's station being retained. The L&SWR site continued to be used for many years for carriage sidings, eventually removed in around the 1960s.
