Today West Molesey is part of the London area conurbation. But at one time this was a quiet town which specialised in market gardening. A significant area of land beside the River Thames was once the Hurst Park Racecourse. During the Second World War the racecourse became an explosives store for the US Air Force, and some of the humps remaining on the site today cover their air raid shelters. Later most of the site was developed as housing.
