Raffles Bridge, behind the photographer's position, is where the A25 Reigate-Redhill road crosses the railway connecting the two towns. It is also the name commonly applied to this small area of shops either side of the bridge. It is in fact a misnomer, and should properly be spelt ‘Reffell's Bridge’ after Henry Reffell who ran a brewery here in the mid 19th century.
