Looking along London Road towards Gatton Point. The milepost on the right is one of a standard design for one along this route, which was built in 1816 as a direct route from Gatton Point south to Povey Cross, near Gatwick. The post shows the distances to/from Brighton and Westminster Bridge on the two faces, but in a different order according to the direction of travel. On the top face is the locality (here the Parish of Reigate, as it was at the time). See Image for a close up of the face seen here, Image for a close up of the opposite face and Image for a wider view in opposite direction.
