In Claremont Gardens, Surbiton
In 1834 an Act for building a railway between London and Southampton received Royal Assent. Local councillors in Kingston, coupled with the coaching interests and Lord Cottenham, owner of much of the land between Kingston and Wimbledon, objected to the railway running through the town, and so the railway was forced to pass a mile and a half to the south. A station opened in 1838 at what was then called “Kingston New Town” or, from 1841, “Kingston-on-Railway”. This was subsequently named Surbiton. The fine houses and good rail service attracted wealthy commuters and earned Surbiton the title of “Queen of the Suburbs”.
This is Claremont Gardens which lies between The Crescent and Claremont Road.

Maple Road, Surbiton
A relatively rare straight road in Britain. They are definitely the exception and not the rule.

The Grove
A very square looking pub on the corner of Grove Road.
It looks like it was once part of a larger development.
