The Old Cottage (on the left) dates from the late 17th century and is grade II listed - for listing particulars see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1028758. Jolly Farmers Cottage (on the right) is thought to date from the 18th century. It was once a pub (before being replaced by the pub of the same name built next door in the 1920s/30s - see Image). Old maps show it with its former name, The Tap, the name presumably linked to Tap Wood situated on the other side of Reigate Road, now the site of a sand quarry (see Image).
