A major housing development on the site of the old Holmethorpe sand quarry, marketed as Watercolour. The lake was landscaped from the quarry itself and is now a nature reserve. Running across the left background of the photo is the "Quarry Line" - the section of the London to Brighton railway bypassing Redhill. Behind this is part of another recent development, Park 25 (see Image), and beyond this is The Dome (see Image).
