These walls and gates originally belonged to Reigate Lodge, a large 18th century mansion, the lodge to which was situated at this entrance. The house was demolished in the 1920s and the land used for what is now Reigate College (see Image) and housing, for example Rushworth Road (see Image). However the surrounding walls and shrubbery were retained, giving some privacy to the houses built immediately behind them, here South Walk. The wall is locally listed.
