High Trees
This house, originally called Horsehills, was built in 1901 by a Mr Bernard W Parsons, a master butcher who lived at nearby Wrays, for his invalid wife. From 1930 to 1984 it was used as a prep school (with the exception of during the Second World War, when from 1940 to 1945 the school was evacuated to Woolacombe in Devon, with the house being occupied by the RAF and ATS). The name High Trees was transferred to the building when the school moved here in 1930. Following the school's closure, it was converted into a nursing home, retaining the name High Trees, for the period from 1986 to the early 2000s. Planning permission has now been given for conversion to residential use. The building is locally listed.

Oil exploration site entrance, Horse Hill
Entrance to the Horse Hill oil exploration site. In April 2015, it was announced that a trial drilling off Horse Hill had suggested the existence of between 50bn and 100bn barrels of oil under an area of the Weald Basin in Surrey and East and West Sussex, and whilst it was likely that only a small proportion could be readily recovered, it could still provide a significant proportion of the UK oil needs for a period. However subsequent reports have tried to downplay the news, over concerns of commercial viability of the find. For wider view see Image

Oil exploration site entrance, Horse Hill
Horse Hill was the original Brighton Road, before the more direct route (now the A217) was built, itself superseded by the current A23 in 1818. In 2015, the name received prominence following the announcement that a trial drilling off Horse Hill had suggested the existence of between 50bn and 100bn barrels of oil under an area of the Weald Basin in Surrey and East and West Sussex, and whilst it was likely that only a small proportion could be readily recovered, it could still provide a significant proportion of the UK oil needs for a period. However subsequent reports have tried to downplay the news, over concerns of commercial viability of the find. This is the entrance to the exploration site, off Horse Hill. For closer view see Image
