Would this have been by the pub called the White Horse? That must have been pulled down around 2005.

  It doesn’t look like a pub premises to me – but I am no expert on Norbiton!

    Looking at the address the pub would have been a couple of doors down at 164-166. I found a picture at http://gallery.hd.org/_c/places-and-sights/England-London-Norbiton-The-White-Horse-pub-1-DHD.jpg.html?sessionVar=887oqg&sessionVarLiteUI=true

    Thanks for the link. It’s not like Norbiton was that characterful to start with, and now even those bits are disappearing.
