Rosedale Road, Stoneleigh
Typical of thousands of streets in these Surrey suburbs - 1930s residential development, mostly 'semis'. The view is NNE from Stoneleigh Broadway, and the road runs through to Central Road, Worcester Park.
Local railway history is worth considering. Dipping into Dendy Marshall's 'History of the Southern Railway', I found that the Wimbledon to Epsom railway line was constructed through here as early as 1859. But no station was provided at Stoneleigh (which in any case was simply farmland), so for 73 years trains stopped at Worcester Park (north) then ran through to Ewell West (south).
The station at Stoneleigh opened in 1932, and - simply from looking at the 'urban fabric' - it is clear that a torrent of 'dormitory' development then followed. While the coming of the railway must have been the critical factor, it was not the only one: the early 1930s were the heyday of the Austin 7 and Morris 8 - so that, for the first time, car-ownership came within reach for families of modest means.

Rail Tour with a Bulleid Light Pacific passing Stoneleigh, 1965
Even back in 1965 this was an extremely rare occurrence on that Waterloo - Raynes Park - Epsom line, as steam locomotives had practically never come that way since electrification over 40 years before. Stoneleigh station was 'modern', being opened 17/7/1932. Going towards Epsom on the Locomotive Club of Great Britain's Wealdsman Rail Tour is rebuilt 'Battle of Britain' 4-6-2 No. 34050 'Royal Observer Corps' (built as No. 21C150 in 12/1946, rebuilt 8/1958, withdrawn 8/1965 and scrapped).
