Site of Epsom Town station
View westward from behind Upper High Street, toward the present (ex-LSWR) station: ex-LB&SCR lines from Victoria and London Bridge via West Croydon and Sutton, which round the bend joined the ex-LSWR line from Waterloo, running then as a Joint line to Leatherhead etc. (See Image]).

High Street from The Quadrant
Looking west along the High Street from The Quadrant: the junction between High Street, East Street, Upper High Street and Church Street. To the right is East Street railway bridge (which was closed during the Easter holidays for replacement). The High Street was widened in the 1930s, and all of the buildings seen in this Francis Frith photo dating from 1907 have been demolished: http://www.francisfrith.com/epsom/photos/high-street-1907_58596/ and http://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/frith.php?id=2361584 .

Upper High Street: Odeon
Upper High Street looking downhill to the Quadrant. On the left is the Odeon cinema, which was built on the site of the Lecture Hall: the hall burnt down in 1990, by which time it was already hidden behind the facade of a row of shops. The buildings beyond the cinema on the left, and those on the right, are unchanged from this Francis Frith view in 1902: http://www.francisfrith.com/epsom/photos/station-road-1902_48085/ and http://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/frith.php?id=2361796 .

High Street from the Spread Eagle
Looking east along the High Street from the crossroads at the Spread Eagle (Image). Not a great deal has changed since this Francis Frith photo was taken around 1960: http://www.francisfrith.com/epsom/photos/high-street-c1960_e37122/ and http://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/frith.php?id=2361540 , except the insertion of a traffic island and direction sign in the foreground.

Upper High Street
Upper High Street from the junction with Church Street. Formerly known as Station Road, because the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway built a line to Epsom in 1847 which terminated at Epsom Town station, about half way up Station Road. The buildings are recognisable from this Francis Frith photo taken in 1902: http://www.francisfrith.com/epsom/photos/station-road-1902_48086/ and http://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/frith.php?id=2361693 , although the closure of the station in 1929 has meant that, over the years, the focal point of the town has shifted west towards Epsom station and the Ashley Shopping Centre.
