More about this scene

An open-topped bus trundles along the Ewell Road towards the crossroads of the village, passing the petrol pump of the small garage near the entrance to Park Lane, and with the trees on the edge of Nonsuch Park in the background. The newly constructed offices of the estate agents Soar & Soar flank one side of the Lloyd's Bank branch, whilst behind the rear of the Hamptons furniture van on the right of the picture is the upper floor of the United Dairies premises. The Cheam Brewery had previously occupied this site from the 12th century, and its cellars lie underneath the triangular grassed areas marked by white posts with linking chains.

In 1938 Teacofs were diagonaly opposite your picture, who made coffee meringues with cream, now 83, a great favourite, near by across from United Dairies was W Sargent who repaired cycles and punctures, also had post cards mounted ...see more
My father had an accordion band and would play at dances at the CHEAM HALLS in the years leading up to the start of WW2. They were called The Ron Young Accordion Band and I am desperate to hear if anyone can recall such a band. I now live in the Northeast of England. I expect the 'Halls' are now a supermarket?
