Horley is now firmly back in Surrey, but for some years prior to 1974 it, along with Gatwick Airport, was within Sussex.
The Prince Albert stands further south on Horley Road, actually in South Earlsfield rather than Salfords, and north of the junction of Horley Road with Woodhatch Road.
This was run by Lib Riches and Charley Borley, who became the first tenants here.
A fine view of an early motorised 'bus, heading through Earlswood on its way to Horley, just after the First World War.
The statue of Samuel Morley was removed in 1927 and was unfortunately smashed in transit.
In 1832 a consortium led by the Earl of Morley established the first steam ferry.
Back at ground level we see the buildings that grew up around the station in the 1880s and 1890s, including Horley and Sons, corn and coal merchants, Vevers and Sons, plumbers and decorators
Further north was the hamlet of Horley Row, with the Chequers Inn at its east end.
The Peter Sellers and Robert Morley film 'Battle of the Sexes' is showing at the Odeon, but also of interest is the Thrift Shop, an early attempt at a discount store.
The two shops on the left were both Morley's, one a clockmaker's, the other an ironmonger's.
As a part of the Heavy Woollen District of Dewsbury and the Spen Valley, Morley suffered during the slump of the 1930s.
Horley is on the old main London to Brighton road before it was diverted around the area of new Gatwick airport.
On the right is Morley's Hotel, a large establishment with a hundred bedrooms, which opened in 1831 before Trafalgar Square had been laid out.
The site of Samuel Morley's statue is now replaced by a traffic island, near which is a policeman on point duty, with only jay- walkers requiring his control.
Horley is on the old main London to Brighton road before it was diverted around the area of new Gatwick airport.
To the left is South Africa House, which was built on the site of Morley's Hotel in 1930; the architect, Sir Herbert Baker, attempted to complement the nearby St Martin-in-the-Fields.
On the opposite corner of the Morley Street junction was Taymac the builders' merchants (now the site of the West Bromwich Building Society).
The original Market Hall clock was presented by Mr Charles Morley.
Virtually unchanged since this view was taken, apart from the loss of the central chimney stacks, the Six Bells is in the old village of Horley near the parish church of St Bartholomew, whose churchyard
The Old Mill 1906 This is the brick lower storey of a windmill built around 1800 by a Crawley millwright, Morley, and situated east of the Recreation Ground.
The last occupant of Thornes House was the Morley MP, Charles Milnes Gaskell.
Burgh Heath is very suburban, and its east side is blighted by the roaring traffic of the dual carriageway A217 Reigate road, which merges with the A23 Brighton road at Horley, south of Redhill
