IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
High Street, REDHILL, RH1 1RJ

Originally this pub stood at the main crossroads in Redhill. The pub. has not moved, but the streets have been pedestrianised, so it is now in the heart of the shopping area. A useful place for passing a pleasant hour while the wife does the shopping.

Station Road on the left, High Street on the right. This was once the main Redhill crossroads, although now pedestrianised. The building in the centre of the photo was built in the early 1900s to a near identical external design of a previous building which had only opened in 1900, but which had been destroyed in a major fire which took place on 25 May 1901, the worst in Redhill's history. It was occupied by R Nicol and Sons, Drapers and Furnishers, until 1933. Compare Image and note the change of use from a year earlier. The next building to its left, now occupied by a cycle shop, was an early branch of Sainsbury's - see http://www.francisfrith.com/redhill,surrey/photos/station-road-east-1906_55033/ for a photo in 1906.

The buildings shown in Image from a different angle, along Station Road. The Harlequin Theatre on the right dates from 1986, while Lloyds Bank dates from about 1900.

Looking along Station Road, with High Street on the right. This was once the main Redhill crossroads, although now pedestrianised. The market operates each Thursday and Saturday. The building opposite was built in the early 1900s to a near identical external design of a previous building which had only opened in 1900, but which had been destroyed in a major fire which took place on 25 May 1901, the worst in Redhill's history.

Compare Image for a 2011 photo - although the travel agents, Thomas Cook still occupy the ground floor of the building, the branding has changed.

Looking along High Street from its junction with Station Road, originally the central crossroads in Redhill. On the right is the Junction pub (see Image) and in the background is the clock of The Belfry (see Image).

The eastern section of Station Road, with restricted vehicular access. On the left is part of the Harlequin centre, built in the 1980s to replace the former Market Hall which has stood on this site from 1861 to 1982 (see http://www.francisfrith.com/redhill,surrey/photos/market-hall-1915_67817/ - this section of Station Road is off to the right).

Looking along High Street to its crossroad with Station Road.

Originally the Wheatsheaf, the present building dates from 1900 and is locally listed. In the late 1990s it was renamed the Firlot and Firkin, then in 2001 it became O'Neills, before receiving its present name in 2007.
