Epsom & Ewell prepares to mark its 90th anniversary

Residents invited to share memories as Epsom & Ewell prepares to mark its 90^th anniversary

Epsom & Ewell Borough Council is inviting residents to share photographs, memories, and stories from the past 90 years as part of celebrations to mark the borough’s 90th anniversary.

Next year will be a significant milestone for the community. Not only will it mark 90 years since the creation of Epsom & Ewell Borough Council in 1937, but it will also be the year that local government reorganisation sees the formation of East Surrey Council.

To commemorate the end of this historic chapter, the council is developing a programme of events and activities that will celebrate the borough’s rich heritage, achievements and community spirit. As part of this work, residents are being encouraged to contribute photographs and personal stories that capture life in Epsom & Ewell across the decades.

These contributions will help create a lasting record of the borough’s social history, preserving memories of local people, places, events and everyday life for future generations.

Residents can submit photographs, memories and stories by emailing [email protected].

Councillor Hannah Dalton, Leader of Epsom & Ewell Borough Council, said:

“As we approach this important milestone, we want to celebrate the people, places and moments that have shaped Epsom and Ewell over the last 90 years.

“We’re asking residents for photographs, memories and stories that capture life in our borough through the decades that can be shared on the council’s social media channels and archived at Bourne Hall Museum. Whether it’s a family photograph, memories of a community event, or stories of how Epsom & Ewell has changed over the years, every contribution will help tell the story of our area and preserve it for future generations.

“As we prepare for the transition to East Surrey Council, this is an opportunity to reflect on our shared history and create a lasting legacy that honours everything that makes Epsom & Ewell such a special place. We would love to hear from residents and see the memories they can share.”
