Housing on the land of the former Yarm Court, developed in 1935.

Two semi-detached and one detached houses in the Windmills built in 2016 on the site of Highlands House, a large house which had been built in 1897 for Henry Moore, a prominent local corn chandler and miller.

Looking along Wesley Road from Reigate Road, with part of The Willows on the left and 1 Lavender Cottages on the right. In the background are the rear of houses in Greyford Close.

Now a suburban residential street, but once - I suppose - the main road from Leatherhead to Reigate. View towards central Leatherhead.

Former chapel of the Royal School for the Blind (originally the School for the Indigent Blind and later SeeAbility), dating from 1902 after the school moved here from Southwark. With the move by the charity to more community based support, much of the site was sold in the late 1990s, with the main block being converted for housing (Lavender Court and Close) and the western part of the site being developed with new housing (Beechwood Park). SeeAbility is now located in Wesley Road, on the southern part of the site. The chapel was converted to serviced offices for local entrepreneurs, known as the Chapel of Ideas. (At the time of this photo, the building had recently been sold, and the boarding would suggest that it might be undergoing work).

Former main building of the Royal School for the Blind (originally the School for the Indigent Blind and later SeeAbility), dating from 1902 after the school moved here from Southwark. During the Second World War it was used by King's College Hospital for part of the Emergency Medical Service. After decommissioning in 1946 it became an infirmary for Chelsea Pensioners in which role it served until 1956. It was then modernised and was restored to its original use in 1958. With the move by the charity to more community based support, much of the site was sold in the late 1990s, with the main block being converted for housing (Lavender Court and Close) and the western part of the site being developed with new housing (Beechwood Park).
