Highlands Road
Late Victorian semi-detached villas in Highlands Road. All originally had name shields, but the only one still legible is on the second building from the right, with its shield saying "Felix Villas". (Does this suggest that they were built by Felix Walker, a local builder at the time?)

2 - 4 Poplar Road
Pair of Victorian villas on Poplar Road. Beyond is 35 - 41 Church Road, a Victorian terrace, marked as Inkerman Terrace on old maps. The address of the latter is unusual in that at first sight it is not on Church Road at all - the explanation would seem to be that when built it predated the laying out of the other roads in the area, namely Poplar Road and Highlands Road, and the only access was by a footpath off Church Road.

Worple Road
Named track running south from Highlands Road/Church Road, predating much of the development of the area. (Worple means "trackway"). Note the bridleway sign on the right; there is a similar one at the other end - see
Image Although the sign suggests that this is a bridleway, the Surrey County Council Rights of Way map marks it as a footpath, FP57.
