More about this scene
Claygate lies southwards beyond the A3 Kingston and Esher by-pass, and into the preserved countryside of the Green Belt. The village grew up firstly when Thames Ditton's commons were enclosed in 1838, and then when the railway arrived in 1885. Frith's photographer looks from the railway station along The Parade, which was started soon after the railway arrived. Station Buildings on the left chose the gabled style, and are earlier than the more architecturally developed styles opposite. At the end the vista across Hare Lane is closed by the 1930s Westminster Bank, now a travel agency, and trees.
