Victorian cottages (the nearest one has a date plaque of 1883) on a road which until the mid 20th century was called Gasworks Road, reflecting the fact that it led to Reigate gasworks. The site remained in use for gas storage until the 1960s or so, and even after then was the local depot for the nationalised gas board. It was eventually redeveloped in 1999, as seen in the background.
