Collapsed barn, Read's Rest
Image: © Derek Harper Taken: 12 Oct 2007
A close-up of the C18 flint and brick barn shown in Image, beside Banstead footpath 41. I suspect this is probably the barn referred to in the "list of buildings of architectural and historic interest in the Borough of Reigate and Banstead" (http://www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk/Images/List_Historical_InterestvOct06_tcm5-10503.pdf ), although it is described as being "north-east of Read's Rest Cottages", when it is in fact to the northwest. The preamble states "the Borough Council will seek to ensure the preservation of buildings on the local list", although I fear they will have their work cut out in this case. Some of the structure, however, remains intact.
