All Saints, Kenley
A Victorian church on a very small site. A church hall (to the right) and car park largely account for the rest of the area, although there is a very tiny garden of remembrance for ashes - the viewpoint. There is no graveyard.

Looking down the line from Kenley station
The first proposals for a railway along the Caterham Valley came in 1836 with the object of building a new London to Dover line through a mile long tunnel under the North Downs. It proved too costly and the existing line via Redhill was used. Instead Caterham received a branch line, built by Caterham Railway, a private company, and opened in 1856. The original purpose was to provide a convenient method of transporting the valuable building stone from the quarries at Godstone to London. Soon though the original purpose was overtaken by wealthy Victorian commuters using the line as the Caterham Valley developed. There were early frustrations for these commuters, for example, in the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway arranging for the connecting train at Godstone Road (now Purley) station to leave one minute before the Caterham train arrived. Kenley station opened at the same time as the line but called Coulsdon for four months until December 1856 when it was renamed Kenley. This is the down platform looking towards Whyteleafe.
