Sandown Park, Esher, Surrey

Memories recreated today with London's standard single-decker bus operating free bus rides in the Kingston and Esher areas. Well, it was the standard single-decker bus between 1951 and 1979.

The ground was so dry and dusty here as we've had so much sunshine in the last week or so.

If the van had been selling fish and chips, instead of burgers and fries, it could have been 1979!
