EPSOM BUSINESSES 1911

This is one of the properties on the North Side of the East End of the High Street. These were all demolished by the start of World War 11 to enable the road to be widened – for more details see Epsom Heritage Page 5. The new properties were built in a completely different position so unlike the rest of this project it has been decided that it is pointless attempting to give a ‘Current Occupier’ as this would not be applicable.

A further complication is that the buildings were not numbered at the time and have therefore been presented under the owner’s name and as far as possible in sequential order from west to east in line with the 1911 Census and photographic evidence.
