Cottages at Noble Park, near Epsom
Cottages on the edge of the Noble Park housing development on the outskirts of Epsom.
The Noble Park development was built in 2012, on a site previously occupied by a psychiatric hospital. Psychiatric hospitals treated people with mental health issues. These cottages were almost certainly built as part of the hospital and refurbished as part of the Noble Park development, rather than being newly-built.
The driveway passing the cottages is a public right of way as a bridleway, and is on the route of the Thames Down Link.

Entrance to West Park Hospital
West Park Hospital began life as a large psychiatric institution opened in 1924 to house London's insane. Although the buildings and grounds take up most of the central area of this grid square only a handful are now in use, the rest having closed in the 1990s-2000s.

Demolition at West Park Hospital
The old mental hospital occupied a substantial acreage, but the majority of the buildings had been demolished by the time this shot was taken. Most were two-storey red-brick structures dating from the 1920's or '30's. entirely institutional in style. The structure seen here is marked on the map as a chimney. To me it looks like the sort of tower which was once characteristic of old-fashioned laundries.
The bench in the foreground stands outside the Meadows Day Clinic, which offers monitoring and support for patients with dementia. I remember sitting here one summer's day a few years ago with my late step-father, then in his nineties.
The hospital site is currently being redeveloped for housing. Some of the old red-brick ward buildings will be retained and converted, but much of the area will be covered by 'new-build'.
