Mini supermarket and petrol station on Bonehurst Road, opened in 2013 on the site of a former Total petrol station.

23 December 2013 saw substantial rainfall in East Surrey as a major storm crossed Southern England. The result was some of the worst flooding in the area for many years taking place on Christmas Eve, particularly around Horley where the clay soil, already saturated from rain a few days earlier, was unable to absorb extra water, resulting in the various streams in the area overflowing, along with the River Mole, with areas close to the river further downstream, such as at Brockham, Pixham, Burford Bridge and Leatherhead, also being successively inundated. All roads between Reigate/Redhill and Horley were blocked by flood water. This is the A23 Bonehurst Road in Horley the following day, where it crosses the Burstow Stream (see Image for closer view). The waters here have receded significantly since the previous day, Christmas Eve, when at around 4.00 the whole road was flooded up to beyond the cars parked in the distance, and water could be seen pouring onto the road alongside the parapet of the bridge over the stream, with even the raised centre of the road being flooded to a depth of at least a foot.

Heading north away from Horley, the next major town being Redhill.

Not yet shown on maps at the date of submission. Orchard Drive links Cross Oak Lane and Langshott, giving access to a new development, The Acres. This is the middle section, just south of where it crosses Burstow Stream. The fending round the trees on the right are to protect them from damage during building work, as the site expands.

Residential block built in the 1960's or 70's.

This is a brand new road which replaced the parallel Lake Lane which has now been covered over at one end to no longer usable. It was not on my map and no idea how I got there as it wasn't intended.
