Son of Samuel Sparks, station master at Epsom Downs for 44 years up to 1914.

Died 5 March 1955, then living Worcester Park.

Jobmasters supplied horses and carriages/carts for hire so, if Mr Sparks was working out of these premises, he presumably had a sizeable yard (or he may well have had stabling at the Railway Hotel, which had substantial facilities for horses). Further information about the Railway Hotel and adjacent area can be found here.
