c1950s(?) housing on Oaks Close.

1960s/70s apartments on the site of the former Bradmere Nursery.

Building on the corner of Oaks Close and Randalls Road, built in around 1934 as a Territorial Army drill hall. Since at least the 1970s it has been used as a warehouse.

Base for the Leatherhead detachment of Surrey Army Cadets.

1960s/70s apartments on the site of the former Bradmere Nursery.

A sewer vent column (or "stinkpipe") on the pavement by Kingston Road where it becomes Bull Hill.

BP Petrol Station on Kingston Road, by its junction with Park Rise. This junction was originally the site of a pond, Bradmere Pond, which was filled in in 1906. Old maps show the centre of the pond to have been at this junction, with Kingston Road (in the foreground) a relatively narrow track, and it seems that its removal was needed to allow the road to be widened. Originally only the top end of Park Rise was developed, and this site was initially undeveloped. A building is shown on the 1939 1:2,500 map, with later editions marking it (with enlargement) as a garage. Hill Rise Court, in the left background, was a 2002 subsequent redevelopment of the corner site.

Surface car park on Randalls Road, adjacent to Red House Gardens.

Cul-de-sac of which the southern section, seen here, was first developed in the c1930s, before later being extended northwards.

Opened in 1867 by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway when they extended their railway (which had previously terminated by Kingston Road) south to Dorking and Horsham. It was designed by Charles Driver. These are the buildings on the down side (see Image for the main buildings, situated on the "up" side of the station). Grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1191033. The low building in the foreground is a later addition, with maps suggesting it was added in the first part of the 20th Century. It now houses an architects' practice.
