Marked as such on the 1964-70 1:2500 map; current maps mark it as a "ruin". This is a telephoto shot taken from across the railway to the south; the entrance to the site off Clifton's Lane (off to the right) is heavily gated, whereas the track to the gate seen here is across a field with no public access. The foreground grassland, now used to graze cattle, is reclaimed land on what was in the 1930s a tile works and then subsequently the site of a fuel depot and warehouses, served by Buckland Siding, a siding off the Redhill - Guildford railway. The site was cleared in the c1980s.
