Redhill: Railway Junction, the Ironstone Quarries, and Surrey's Southern Gateway
Redhill grew because of the railway junction. The London to Brighton line and the Reading to Tonbridge line cross here, making Redhill a significant interchange since the 1840s. The town takes its name from the red ironstone that was quarried locally. Redhill is often paired with neighbouring Reigate, though the two have distinct characters: Reigate is the older market town, Redhill the Victorian railway creation. The population of the Reigate and Banstead borough is around 148,000, with Redhill itself at roughly 30,000.
Redhill station provides Southern, Thameslink, and Great Western services. The M25 junction 8 is five miles east. Gatwick Airport is seven miles south. The town centre around Station Road and the Belfry shopping centre has been subject to ongoing regeneration. For adult companionship, Redhill is covered by Surrey Police and governed by England and Wales criminal law.
