Bridge over a public footpath
Looking eastwards here from the B290 is seen the overbridge carrying the Tattenham Corner railway line over a rather untidy footpath which links to the suburban housing of Banstead.

South Tadworth Farm Close
Built in 2012 next to South Tadworth Farm, this was built on people's back gardens on Epsom Lane North, a way of cheating green belt and other planning regulations and increasing the population density of the area.

Railway bridge south of Tattenham Corner
This rather neglected footpath must once have been a wide, well-used farm-track. Why else would the South Eastern & Chatham Railway (arriving circa 1900) have built such a substantial bridge? There is clearance enough for a hay-wagon - foot-traffic and livestock could have been accommodated by a tunnel with much less headroom.
Or perhaps there was quarry traffic- I notice that the name of a patch of woodland east of the railway is given by the OS as Pit Wood.
The line runs north to its terminus at Tattenham Corner, south to Tadworth (before turning north-east towards Purley and London).

Footpath to the B290

Footpath. looking north
This public footpath can be used to walk from Tattenham Corner station to Tadworth station or vice versa, but its northern end is rather difficult to find from Tattenham Corner.

Epsom Lane North
View north from a point close to Sparrowhawk's scrap-metal yard. To the west of the road is farmland on Walton Downs.
The royal cipher ('GR') on the pillar-box is that of George V - a fair clue to the date of the first residential development around here. The South Eastern & Chatham Railway opened its extension to Tadworth and Tattenham Corner in 1901: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5608306
The railway runs parallel to Epsom Lane North, a short distance to the east. No doubt the narrow strip of farmland stranded between railway and road was soon bought up by speculative builders.

Footpath, looking north
The footpath linking Tattenham Corner station with Tadworth station continues on the east side of the railway as a pleasant leaf-strewn way, generally free of litter and dog faeces. This photograph looks back towards Tattenham Corner.
