More about this scene
This scene is of Banstead Downs, which are actually outside Sutton's boundaries, south of Belmont station. The clubhouse of the Banstead Downs Golf Club is seen in the distance. Between the golfers and the clubhouse was Burdon Lane, which until the 1950s joined the Brighton Road as it crossed the Downs by way of a dangerous blind junction. However, this stretch was later closed and became a path, so that golfers today no longer have to cross a road to get to their clubhouse.
