About Fencing in Horley
Horley in Surrey existed well before the Domesday Book of 1086, and during the Anglo Saxon period the manor came under the control of the wealthy Chertsey Abbey, later passing to the Crown at the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539 before changing hands several more times over the following decades. For centuries Horley remained a small farming village, but the arrival of the railway in 1841, with a station on the London to Brighton line, opened the town up to growth and set it on the path to becoming a commuter town. Long before Gatwick Airport existed, the landowners connected to Gatwick Manor built a racecourse beside the railway to replace an earlier course in Croydon, complete with its own dedicated station, Gatwick Racecourse Station, which included sidings for horse boxes. Horley's administrative history took an unusual turn in the 1970s, when it was moved from Surrey into West Sussex under the Local Government Act 1972, only for local residents to vote by a large majority to return to Surrey through the Charlwood and Horley Act 1974.
