More about this scene

The railway originally ended at Terminus Place (which is hardly surprising), and housing was laid out along the old lane onto the common: this became Western Road, with Summer Heath Road a turning off in the distance of this view. All the houses on the right, apart from the one in the middle distance with two hipped- roofed bay windows, have since been demolished. The 1960s library, together with modern housing estates, have replaced them. The survivor is now a Citizens Advice Bureau and a working men's club. The recreation ground is on the left.

Fond memories of my time spent with my friends at Oakland's riding school in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Does anyone have any photos of it at that time? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nikki x
