About Fencing in Redhill

Redhill in Surrey barely existed before the railway age transformed it from a scattered hamlet into an important junction town almost overnight. Engineers building the London to Brighton line in the 1840s found it cheaper to route the railway through the Redstone, or Red Hill, gap rather than through the established market town of Reigate nearby, and the London and Brighton Railway completed the new line through the gap during 1840 and 1841, with the South Eastern Railway later contributing half the construction costs for a further section. The junction that resulted, where lines toward Dover and toward Guildford and Reading meet the main Brighton line, made Redhill a major interchange, and the town that grew up around the station owes essentially its entire existence to this railway history.
