Horley: The Gatwick
Named after the long since defunct Gatwick Racecourse, and hence the horseshoe sign, the pub is a Hall & Woodhouse outlet on the High Street. At the time of submission the owners were seeking new landlords.

The Gatwick
Originally built in the 1850s as a private house called Raglan House, it is not clear when it formally became a pub or acquired its name, although there was a brewery, the Station Brewery, situated immediately behind the building between at least 1867 and 1874. Records show that it certainly was fully running as a pub by 1890. The name "The Gatwick" is nothing to do with the airport, but instead Gatwick racecourse (on which the current airport is built), with horses being unloaded from trains in the nearby station yard, for leading to the racecourse.

The Horley Bookshop BEFORE
In the early part of the 1900s this building was a men's outfitters known as Stapley's, a beautiful building really with wooden shop fronts . . . and a focal point in a busy high street. Obviously The Horley Bookshop didn't care and it became a pretty ugly building in a poor state of repair. People just walking past. Sad.

The Stapley Building (formerly Horley Bookshop)
An ugly duckling becomes a swan. One big ugly building is split into two shops with a local charity and Subway in occupation. Honouring the past the building has been named The Stapley Building after the former men's outfitters who occupied the site in the early half of the 1900s. Still has nice mosaic floor in the entrance with Stapley written on it. Lovely shop fronts, better than the aluminium alternative! Modern materials used and better than the chocolate colour it was before.
