Woodcote Green
Compare with this photo taken in 1890: http://www.francisfrith.com/epsom/photos/woodcote-green-1890_25996/ and http://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/frith.php?id=2741461 . It seems possible that the tree in the near left foreground is the same as appears in the 1890 photo, while the area to the right of Woodcote Hurst (which now forms part of the Millennium Green) is quite heavily wooded, but was largely open in 1890: indeed, although no animals are visible in the 1890 photo, it seems probable that the green was being grazed by commoning animals off the almost contiguous Epsom Common at this time, which would have kept the land open and largely free from scrub.

Woodcote Green
Compare with this photo taken in 1890: http://www.francisfrith.com/epsom/photos/woodcote-green-1890_25997/ and http://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/frith.php?id=2740812 . The bus stop is of course new, as is all of the development on the north side of Woodcote Green Road, including Epsom General Hospital in the distance. It's unlikely that the bench is in exactly the same position as 120 years ago, but it doesn't seem to have moved much.

Durdans seen from Chalk Lane
Durdans was built 1764-8 and was much added to in the 19th century. The wrought iron gates next to Chalk Lane came from Canons in Middlesex, the seat of the Duke of Chandos - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3978513

RAC fingerposts, Woodcote Green Road
The RAC officially stopped making road signs in 1964 with the new Worboys designs, these may be the only ones made since still in place. These are exceptional as by RAC offices.
