The Epsom Riot Walk

A walk about the 1919 Epsom riot , the attack on Epsom Police Station and the death of Sergeant Thomas Green. Discover what happened in Epsom during WW1 with its crowded Military Hospitals, camps and large numbers of Canadian soldiers left behind in Woodcote Camp waiting to go home. See how events boiled over out of hand during an incident in a local pub, which led to the infamous riot of 1919, the attack on Epsom Police Station and the death of Sergeant Thomas Green.

 

The walk begins outside the Rifleman pub in East Street and ends in Ashley Road at the site of the police station
