The Station, Stoneleigh

[1] The first application to build a public house on the street, in February 1934, was refused by the Epsom magistrates, but a reapplication the following month was approved.

[2][3] The Stoneleigh Hotel, as it was known on opening, was designed by the architect A. E. Sewell for Truman, Hanbury and Buxton brewery[4] and was completed in November 1935.

Constructed in the mock-Tudor style and half-timbered in oak, it was sited on a 1-acre (0.40 ha) plot on the south side of Stoneleigh Broadway and to the east of the railway line.

[5] The original main entrance, on the north side, takes the form of a Tudor arch, with panels depicting a wheatsheaf and coats of arms.

[4] The Rembrandt Cinema, immediately north of the railway where it passes over the A240 Kingston Road, was designed by E. Norman Bailey and opened in 1938.
