inside the actual waterworks. Electric Parade originated as a row of shops along the pavement (Parade) of a road that used to be called Electric Parade; they were built around 1904-05 when electricity (Electric) first arrived in Surbiton, and were among the first in the area to use this new technology. The original shops all closed and were replaced with new ones within 15–20 years. Later on, the road was renamed to Brighton Road A243, and Electric Parade now refers to the narrow road and area facing the backs of these shops. The clock tower at the northwest end of the road used to have a globe on top, but it was damaged by a V-1 in WWII and replaced with a bell.
