More about this scene

The medieval parish church, Ashtead Park house and its landscaped park, now part of the City of London Freemen's School, are south of this main through road, the A24 London to Worthing road. The high street, known as The Street, was mostly Victorian in character, but has been rebuilt; some houses on the left beyond the single-storey shops went up in the 1960s. Barclays Bank is now a restaurant and take-away, while the Westminster Bank on the right is offices.

Ashtead is the best place on Earth to live! I lived there with my sister and brother for almost 5 years in the late seventies early eighties..... this picture of the Street brings me tears of joy, the people there were wonderful, polite, hospitable and loving; I wish I could go back there one day to visit old neighbors and see this beautiful town and country again!!
