Situated in High Street (see Image for wider view), the mosaic was commissioned by Horley Town Council to commemorate the Millennium, being unveiled on 2 December 2000. It was designed and made by the Mosaic Workshop in Holloway Road, London, and paid for by local builders' merchants, Mitchells of Horley, who were celebrating their centenary that year. It depicts Gatwick Airport on the left of the mosaic and with Horley itself covering much of the right hand side, bisected by the diagonal line of the London to Brighton railway.
