Upper Farm
One of a number of "park home" estates on Boxhill Road. Old photos show Upper Farm originally as a camp site and with an open air swimming pool. The pool is still shown on the 1971 large scale map, situated just off to the left of this photo, with a filling station in front. There is now no sign of either.

An American grill/diner on Box Hill. Previous names of the premises were Boxers, the Smugglers Inn, La Collina and the Boxhill Tavern. Even earlier it was the site of the Upper Farm Tea Rooms, before being converted into Wimpy Bar in 1963.

Zigzag Road (the straight, level bit) in November
This stretch of Zigzag Road runs fairly straight and level along the crest of the North Downs scarp. The zigzags which ease the ascent from the Mole Valley are somewhere behind the camera.
If the view is particularly colourful, it is because the chief tree species here (on the plateau) is beech. On the steepest slopes yew predominates.
