Tattenham Corner railway station is in Surrey, in England. The station and all trains serving it are operated by Southern, and it is the terminus of the Tattenham Corner Line. It is 23 miles 37 chains (37.8 km) from London Charing Cross. It lies on the outskirts of Epsom and is the closest station for Epsom Downs Racecourse, where the Derby is held and the British monarch traditionally alights from the British Royal Train in those years when attending the Derby. The line serving it was opened (as the Chipstead Valley Railway) in stages between 1897 and 1901, with the commissioning of the final section coinciding with the opening of the station on 4 June that year (by which time the SER had absorbed the independent company). The station closed in September 1914 and was used occasionally for race specials from 1920 until full public service restored (upon electrification) on 25 March 1928. In its heyday, the station had seven platforms (to handle the sizeable amounts of racecourse traffic) but today only three remain. Epsom Downs station is nearby as the terminus of the Epsom Downs branch line from Sutton, also served by Southern services.

Beechholme was a children's home in Fir Tree Road, Banstead, Surrey. It was founded in 1879 as a Residential School for poor children from the slums of Kensington and Chelsea and run under a Village system. A self-contained community, the home consisted of twenty four, large, detached houses on both sides of a long, tree-lined avenue. The houses were named after tree and shrubs - such as Beech, Oak, Cedar, Acacia and the like - each one run as a ‘family’ unit, autonomously managed and quite independent of its neighbours. Each house was managed by 'house parents'. Within the grounds, there were administration buildings, a nursery school, primary school, sewing rooms (complete with seamstress and assistant), a cobblers shop, a full-time team of gardeners, a chapel and playing fields, etc. Conditions at Beechholme were harsh, but typical of private residential schools of the same era. Later, children came from other parts of London and the London County Council took over responsibility, followed by Wandsworth Borough Council. In 1974, the children's home was closed and the property sold. All buildings were demolished and the site re-developed in 1975 as the High Beeches Estate. The Beech Holme Pavilion was built on the old site, and now is the location of the Beeches Montessori Nursery and local children's football clubs. The London Metropolitan Archives hold records of the children who resided at the school. Former residents of the home include the television presenter Dilly Braimoh, who produced a television programme on Beechholme and its former residents.
