searching my family tree, and distant relatives lived in Bats and Balls no 1 cottages, according to the 1891 census. Is anyone able to advise if the cottages were actually rooms above the pub? or the houses next to it but owned by the pub? Many thanks

For years I have desperately wanted to see a picture of my Grans cafe as it was in her day and finally I can see half of the sign - its the closest I have ever got to seeing anything of it. It was Perkins restuarant at 4 London Road.

This must be Nellie Perkins married to Arthur, a cousin of my grandad Ernest Thomas, who was born at the Skimmington Castle in 1884. So, Jean, we are relations of some kind!!

Fall of cottages into a sand cave at Reigate. May 19 1860. The Illustrated London News.
"On the morning of Wednesday week the inhabitants of Reigate were alarmed by a loud report, which at first was
believed to be the shock of an earthquake, but it was soon ascertained that it arose from a large sand
cave belonging to the premises of the Red Cross Inn having fallen in. Over this cave there were erected
several cottages, and five of these, or at least portions of them, fell in with the cave, and ten others appeared to be hanging
as it were by a mere thread. The escape of persons (twenty-three in number) who resided in the cottages was
marvellous. The bedsteads in four of the cottages were partly hanging over the chasm, and in one of them a poor
woman was lying very ill, her medical attendment having just left her. She was taken out of the front window.
The inhabitants of Reigate have kindly got up a subscription in aid of the poor people who have had their
furniture destroyed by this singular accident."

I remember hearing that back in Victorian times you could get bed and board in the Red Cross in return for working in the sand mines.
When I was growing up in the 1980's it was a right of passage to go down the caves illicitly. The entrance was behind the advertising hoardings next to Reigate Exhausts, it was sealed up not long after.
