Coulsdon Post Office
At the junction of Chipstead Valley Road with Lion Green Road, this building was opened in 1935. It has been rather spoiled by the need to protect the windows against vandalism.

Chipstead Valley Road, Coulsdon
Looking south-west from the junction with Lion Green Road. The bus on Route 166 is (Arriva) DWL 3 and is on its way to West Croydon. Route 166 began in 1950 when its northern terminus was Thornton Heath (High Street) via Brigstock Road, thus it was a partial replacement for the No. 42 trams. In those days, it was worked by 'RT' double deckers, the southern terminus being Chipstead Valley (Mid Day Sun). In 1970, the northern end of the route was altered to become Shirley (Monks Orchard Road), and single-deck 'SMS' class standee buses were introduced, which were very unpopular with the passengers, who referred to them as 'cattle trucks'. Eventually, double deckers came back in the form of DMS vehicles, later replaced by Olympians, but in 2000 when the trams started running to New Addington, Route 166 was cut back to West Croydon, but received an extension to Banstead (later Epsom) at the southern end: all workings became single-deck again, various classes being used.

Lion Green Road, Coulsdon
This short road links Brighton Road with Chipstead Valley Road and a through route to Woodcote Grove Road. Seen from the Brighton Road end, on the left behind mature plane trees is a car park, while on the right a motor mechanic and then simple cottage-type houses.
