"In 1859 an invasion by the French, under the Second Empire of Napoleon III, was widely feared. Volunteer movements of riflemen sprang up all over the country, and Epsom hosted the 8th Corps of the Surrey Rifle Volunteers. They trained in Rifle Butts Alley, beside a long valley leading up to the Downs, and relaxed afterwards at a pub in East Street, still called the Rifleman. In 1881 the volunteers became a territorial detachment of the regular East Surrey Regiment." (eehe.org.uk/?p=33248)
