Holmethorpe Quarry The area around Merstham, Redhill and Reigate was rich in minerals and has been extensively quarried for Fullers Earth, as well as for silver sand used in glassmaking, chalk, firestone and hearthstone.
high quality sand is moved from the quarry along a long stretch of conveyor belts that run through Mercers Park...a former sand quarry, now a 'Country Park'.
The Iron Horse ....the name given to the early railway engines, which replaced horse-drawn carriages.
