The Stables, Linkfield Lane

At the junction of Linkfield Lane and Daneshill. The curved building on the left is early 19th century, with the white building behind being 18th century - both are locally listed. An 1895 map of Redhill shows them to be in the grounds of a large building called Woodside, the home of a certain Tilson Lee, suggesting that these were the outbuildings for the house. Tilson Lee was clearly an art collector - a 1639 picture by Dirck Santvoort, "Portrait of Geertruyt Spiegel with a Finch", is listed by the National Gallery as having been donated by him in 1916, while another website records him as having been the seller of another 17th century Dutch painting "at his Sale on the premises Woodside, Surrey, 11-12 May 1920".
