The Small Shed at Horley was originally built as part of the locomotive work, the location being chosen because it was approximately half way between the termini used by the railway company at London and Brighton. The line of trees in the background mark the site of the original Horley station. When the locomotive works at Horley was built there was also a much longer building in the area in the foreground of this view, called the Large Shed. No trace remains of the large shed today.

The site of the former Victoria Road level
crossing. On the far side of the tracks beyond the concrete bunker are
two white markers. These are thought to be the remains of supports for
the footbridge that one allowed people to get across the line when the
level crossing was closed to traffic. To the left of the two white stumps is the former location of Horley South signalbox, which controlled the Victoria Road level crossing. Out of view to the left is the site of the original Horley station. Photo 24th April 2002 |
The derelict brickwork beside the railway line seems to be all that is
left of the Down platform of the original station at Horley. The
rectangular white wall is a the former water tower that fed the railway's
water cranes in the area. The water tank has been removed
from on top of the building and it seems to have been converted to
housing. Photo 24th April
