Known for its iconic Derby Day, this enchanting place has witnessed countless moments that have shaped its identity. Transport yourself to 1923 as Cecil Aldin's masterpiece "The Derby" captures the essence of this prestigious event. The Olympians gather at Epsom Downs, their anticipation palpable as they await the exhilarating race. Intriguing encounters unfold on these hallowed grounds, like when a policeman engages in conversation with Gypsies amidst the hustle and bustle. Such interactions add an air of mystique to this already vibrant setting.

And then we fast forward to 1954 when the Epsom Derby takes center stage once again, showcasing thrilling displays of equine prowess. Beyond horse racing lies another facet of Epsom's history - the establishment of the Ewell Epileptic Colony. This sanctuary provided solace and care for those afflicted by epilepsy, leaving an indelible mark on Surrey's landscape. Equestrian triumphs continue to grace these storied grounds; Larkspur gallops towards victory during the 1962 edition of the illustrious Epsom Derby. A snapshot from June 1929 transports us into a scene teeming with excitement at England's most celebrated racecourse. Delving deeper into history reveals fascinating tales such as Diamond Jubilee crossing first past post in 1901 under unknown creatorship – forever etching his name into sporting lore. Even suffragette Emily Davison dared to challenge societal norms by participating as a jockey at one memorable edition of The Derby held at Epsom.
