EPSOM BUSINESSES 1911
1913 Map of Epsom 3
The High Street (West)
The 1911 Businesses are shown in red. Click on the one you’re interested in to bring up the details, or use the ‘Key to Properties’ below. Please bear in mind that official numbering was not introduced until later and anomalies will occur. Residential addresses (given that some originals were demolished) and office accommodation are indicated where known. Note that many properties were renumbered; original numbering has been used in the first instance with renumbering indicated where relevant. Some of the numbering may not tally with some documentation; research for this project has been carried out by visiting the properties to get an accurate description.
