Electricity cabinet
This venerable electricity cabinet appears to be made from aluminium, and date to at least the 1950s. And it seems still to be in service.

Epsom Downs railway station (site), Surrey
Opened in 1865 by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway as the terminus of the line from Sutton, this station closed in 1989 when the line was truncated by 300m and a new station opened behind the camera position.
View south west towards the former buffers, probably from a similar position to Image] some 36 years earlier.

Bunbury Way, Epsom Downs
A residential road built on the site of Epsom Downs railway station (which was replaced by a newer, smaller station further along the railway towards Sutton and London). The roundabout shaped object in the foreground is merely a traffic calming device; there are no side roads off Bunbury Way.

Bunbury Way, Epsom Downs
This hardly looks like the approach to a railway terminus, but in fact this suburban street was built on the trackbed to the original Epsom Downs station, when the branch from Sutton was cut back in 1989 - no doubt a lucrative development opportunity for British Rail at the time. Traffic to the new Epsom Downs station now has to pass this way.

Exam tables in sports hall, Epsom College
The photo was taken during a tour of the college at half term when no pupils were present. The school has about 720 pupils, so around 300 will be taking public exams in May and June. Several areas of the Sports Centre were laid out with tables and chairs, with sheeting on the floor over the sports playing surface.

Epsom Downs station
In July 1979, Epsom Downs station was quite near Epsom Downs, but now the vast station shown in this photograph has been removed and housing built on the site. The station is now nearly half a mile further east.
The train here is '4-SUB' unit No 4721, which unusually had roller-blind route indicators fitted - almost all the 4-SUBS used stencils.
