Close up of the stuccoed gable ends on the house in Image

House on the corner of Deerings Road and Reigate Road, built in 1899. For a close up of the stuccoed gable ends, see Image

This house stands at the corner of Deerings Road and Reigate Road, so is a bit of a landmark. I find it altogether rather handsome, but the stuccoed gables are most unusual. Two 'medallions' (as Pevsner might call them) give the date of building: 'A.D.' (on the left), '1899' (on the right). Generations of owners have to be thanked for having looked after these interesting features. The overall style of the building - it seems to me - would not be out of place in the north-eastern USA. (I have made this image available in larger sizes, so that the stucco detail can be examined).

Substantial fin-de-siècle red brick houses, the nearest dated 1899. Stefan Czapski's Image] shows the pargetted gables more clearly.

A road developed from 1898 onwards in the former grounds of Great Doods (the nearer of these two houses has a date of 1901 in the gable). Great Doods itself was demolished in 1910.

In Deerings Road. Built by public subscription as one of four projects approved by the Borough Council to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. Work started in 1899, although the formal foundation stone was not laid until 18 April 1900. The first occupants moved in in late 1900. Further buildings on the site were added in 1911, various years in the 1920s and in 1939, with a major development being the addition of some flats in 1983. See also Image for some further almshouses built by the same trust in Redhill in 1951.

Quaker burial ground on Reigate Road, on a site originally acquired in 1668. The adjacent Meeting House, the third on the site dates from 1984 - see Image

Thomas Moore was a local magistrate in the late 17th century who donated a field for use as a Quaker burial ground. A meeting place was subsequently built here. The current building, the third on the site, part of which is visible on the right of the photo, was built in 1984 with part of the land being used at the same time for a sheltered housing development, the main subject of the photo, appropriately named Thomas Moore House.
