Looking towards its junction with Church Street in the far distance. The wall on the right mark the boundary of what were originally the grounds of Reigate Lodge, a large 18th century mansion. 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, East Walk being along this section.
