This one was snapped from the passage running between the back of the High Street and the railway, with views of the service entrances to High Street shops and the Ebbisham Centre.
Gmaps 51.334458, -0.265825, so quite close to the meridian.
The trolley, M&S by the colour of the trim, was actually behind the chain link fence at the bottom of the railway embankment. It must have taken a bit of a push to get it there, and I was not going to get it back. Two or three man job to get over the fence and back with a trolley. Plus at least one lightweight step ladder, preferably two.
There were also quite a number of trolleys, at least one from Wilko, which was a first, hanging around the service entrances, perhaps purloined with some back stairs purpose in mind, rather than just devilment. But purloining just the same.
I drew the line at trespassing to recover them.
Perhaps I should commission one of the grandchildren to write a report on the trolley scene in Epsom, using this blog as his source, complete with spreadsheet, maps and charts. Excellent training activity for a wannabee geek - but a bit of a bore for an older one - not quite old enough for that sort of thing yet - maybe in four or five years time.
