Horley: High Street and Victoria Road
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 9 Dec 2012
The High Street is to the left and Victoria Road to the right in this image. The High Street was once called Station Road, but the name had to be changed when the railway moved the station some 300 metres southwards in 1905. From this location one now needs to follow Victoria Road to get to the station. The attractive corner building with its Dutch gables is Number 2 High Street. As a sign of the times it currently houses a branch of the Cheque Centre, although the photographer thinks that it was formerly occupied by a branch of the estate agents Gascoigne Pees.
