Dist:0.1km<br/>A 1960s or 70s estate built in a former sandpit. All the roads are named after vicars of St Mary's Church: in this photo are Sheldon Close (to the left; named after Frederick Sheldon, vicar from 1947 to 1957) and Lymden Gardens (bending round to the right; named after John Lymden, vicar from 1532 to 1536 and the last prior of Reigate prior to the dissolution of Reigate Priory in the Reformation). The other roads on the estate are Harrison Close (named after John Harrison, vicar from 1847 to 1901), Talbot Close (named after Richard Talbot, vicar from 1929 to 1947) and Cranston Close (named after Andrew Cranston, vicar from 1697 and 1708 and founder of the Cranston Library, the first public lending library in Britain - see [[871024]]).

Dist:0.2km<br/>This was once a through route as an extension of Smoke Lane and a series of other roads and paths starting around Shaws Corner ending up on Cockshot Hill (seen in the background), hence the separate pavement on what is now only a footpath.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This was once a through route as an extension of Smoke Lane and a series of other roads and paths starting around Shaws Corner, ending up on Cockshot Hill. It is now only a footpath. The fence on the left is of the back gardens in a road to which the name Smoke Lane has been transferred.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Whenever it snows in Riegate, the lower slopes of Park Hill in Priory Park are a magnet for tobogganists. They are particulalry popular with families with young children due to their gentle slopes with a long run-off (more challenging runs are also available, culminating in the well named Breakneck Hill, running from the top of Park Hill down towards the Priory Pond). Usually with the meagre snowfall that is normally experienced, the slopes rapidly become worn, but here the 6 inches or so of snow of a few days previously has lasted well, helped by the slopes being north facing and sheltered by trees and also temperatures remaining low, and the crowds are out in force.
