Brokes Road, REIGATE, RH2 9LP

Private road, regularly used as a cut through avoiding Reigate Hill, hence the narrowing here to control speed and the gate giving the facility to close the road to through traffic (although rarely, if ever, used). On the right is Beech Road, also private.

A private road of 1930s(?) housing.

Old maps show the road to have been laid out by 1914 and developed in the 1920s.

This private road follows the route of the track that connected Reigate with the east-west pilgrims' route to Canterbury. However, despite the road name suggesting that it formed part of the main pilgrims' route, this has been refuted, although it was almost certainly used by those wanting to divert to civilisation (or refreshment!) in Reigate. It now forms part of the Millennium Trail, a pathway sponsored by Reigate and Banstead District Council, and which links with the track up Colley Hill.
