Station Road on the left, High Street on the right. This was once the main Redhill crossroads, although now pedestrianised. The building in the centre of the photo was built in the early 1900s to a near identical external design of a previous building which had only opened in 1900, but which had been destroyed in a major fire which took place on 25 May 1901, the worst in Redhill's history. It was occupied by R Nicol and Sons, Drapers and Furnishers, until 1933. Compare Image and note the change of use from a year earlier. The next building to its left, now occupied by a cycle shop, was an early branch of Sainsbury's - see http://www.francisfrith.com/redhill,surrey/photos/station-road-east-1906_55033/ for a photo in 1906.
