Drivenet Garage
A small garage on the Chequers Roundabout on a site with motor engineering links back to the start of the 20th century, fittingly given that this is on the route of the annual London-Brighton veteran car run.

Tanyard Way
Presumably once the site of a tannery, although nothing is shown on old maps, dating from the early 19th century through to the late 1980s, when these houses were built.

No speeding
A 1902 Gladiator driving along Brighton Road, Horley, just south of the Chequers Roundabout, taking part in the 2010 London-Brighton Veteran Car Run. In the background is the Chequers Hotel. The police car trailing the car was presumably not looking out for a speeding offence.
The London-Brighton Veteran Car Run is an annual event, taking place on the first Sunday of November, in commemoration of the Emancipation Run of 14 November 1896 which celebrated the raising of the speed limit for 'light locomotives' from 4 mph to 14 mph and removed the requirement for vehicles to be escorted by a man on foot. The next Run was in 1927, after which it was annual to 1938, with a further run in 1946, and then annual from 1948 onwards - the 2010 Run was the 77th event.
The orange sign in the background was a route marker for the 2010 Brighton-London Future Car Challenge that had taken place the previous day, in the reverse direction to the Veteran Car Run, as a showcase for low energy vehicles.
