The Archway Theatre Company traces its origins to a small group of enthusiasts who set up together in 1939, performing in local halls. In 1952 it moved into these arches under Victoria Road on its approach to crossing the railway by Horley Station, visible in the right background of this photo. Whilst it originally was wholly contained in the arches, in 1989 it expanded so that the stage now extends into an extension beyond the road. Even so, it is very much a small scale affair, with seating capacity for only 95. For further information see http://www.archwaytheatre.co.uk/index.shtml.
