IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Browns Road, SURBITON, KT5 8SP

Shops at the southern corner with Ewell Road. The French Bistro used to be Bell's shop selling musical instruments. Abbey Beds & Furniture on Ewell Road has an extended frontage around the old house - a common feature along this road.

Another of Surbiton's traditional 'local boozers'. A Gales Brewery pub with a good range of their beers. The Fuller's sandwich board shows evidence of the new owners with a hint that you should enjoy Gales beers whilst you can.

Fishponds Park contains three ponds, a stream and an area of grassland now managed as a hay meadow. On a map of 1762 this site is shown as a brick kiln and was part of Kingston Common, which stretched between Hook, Tolworth and Surbiton. By 1839 most of the land had been taken over as allotments, although a brickworks is still shown on the 1867 Ordnance Survey Map. Fishponds itself is a plain Georgian house built in 1742. This is one of the smaller ponds.

With Image now a Sainsbury's Local.

On Ewell Road, Surbiton.

Now somewhat run down.

A brick-built block of flats with a variety of shops at ground level.

I am unsure if this carved tree trunk has been damaged or was originally standing up.
