More about this scene
Stoneleigh took its name from Stone's Farm, at the southern end of Nonsuch Park. Its rapid development followed the opening of the railway station on the Epsom to Waterloo line in 1932. Most of the houses and business premises in this suburb were constructed in this mock-Tudor style in the years leading up to the Second World War.
