About Fencing in Surbiton
Surbiton grew from farmland into a fashionable Victorian railway suburb after Kingston council rejected a plan to route the new London to south coast railway through the town, fearing it would threaten the local coaching trade, so the line was instead built through Surbiton, whose station opened in 1838. Originally known as Kingston upon Railway before being renamed Surbiton in 1869, the area's population grew from under five thousand in 1872 to nearly eighteen thousand by 1911, leaving a legacy of over two hundred listed Edwardian buildings.
