Church Road, Horley
Edwardian houses in Church Road. As the name suggests, the road leads to the church (St Bartholomews - see Image). However the road was cut in two by, and this end bypassed by, the building of Thorns Road (now Brighton Road) in 1816, as part of the new Gatton to Povey Cross turnpike. As a result, this section of Church Road is now a quiet residential road.

Not unusually for larger houses in Horley, given its proximity to Gatwick Airport, the one right of centre now houses a Guest House.

The Air Balloon
A pub has been on this site since at least 1785, originally known as The Thorns, predating the building of what is now Brighton Road (originally Thorns Road), built in 1816 as part of the new Gatton to Povey Cross turnpike. Over the years it saw much redevelopment and expansion, with its position on what was originally the main London-Brighton road making it popular with weekend traffic.
In 1982 it was renovated and renamed The Game Bird. Over the years it developed a poor reputation, and it was closed in the 1990s. It reopened in 1995 as The Air Balloon, with a "Wacky Warehouse" next door, as a popular children's venue.
The building is locally listed.
