Two late 19th century buildings in Lesbourne Road. No 27 (now housing Gardenlink, a garden design company) was originally a butcher's shop. In 1907 it was fitted out as a dairy for the Reigate Industrial and Provident Society by architects Baker and Penfold, with tiles and murals by Carter & Co of Poole (the murals depicting in tiles a cattle scene and a milkmaid in the country). These have survived, and it is primarily because of this that this section of the building has been grade II listed.
